It begins for the English today as West Ham face FC Lusitans in front of a sold out Upton Park this evening. The team will be a bit mixed. Randolph, O'Brien, Tomkins, Burke, Page. Jarvis, Oxford, Poyet, Amalfitano. Zarate, Sakho.

2nd cl final he has scored in.

Nothing to sniff at.

What a big game player...

Yep. Not like he's ever done anything else in a big game. Ever

Modern football, Oliver, modern football.

Griezmann certainly stepping up, Torres though is nonexistent.

by Ent Sat 28 May 2016, 8:37 pm

Making the space for griezman with his runs.

by nadeem2099 Sat 28 May 2016, 8:39 pm

Very good 1st half by Real. Have to be wary of Grizzlyman in the 2nd half as it looks like he's getting in the game more.

by Fernando Sat 28 May 2016, 8:52 pm

Carrasco on for Augusto at HT

Real need to keep Gabi quiet. He's starting to control it and get balls into Griezmann who needs to stay up top and stop drifting into pointless spaces.

penalty atletico

by Fernando Sat 28 May 2016, 8:55 pm

Griezmann chokes and hits the bar.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 28 May 2016, 8:55 pm

Missed!

by kingraf Sat 28 May 2016, 8:55 pm

Fuxkery

by Ent Sat 28 May 2016, 8:56 pm

Terrible stuff, just hit the target.

Wasn't sure about the decision mind.

by kingraf Sat 28 May 2016, 8:59 pm

Been walking on water the whole season. Was a good time for him to flop

by nadeem2099 Sat 28 May 2016, 8:59 pm

The footballing gods are on reals side so far!

by Ent Sat 28 May 2016, 9:00 pm

40 minutes for him to make amends.

Early yet but he doesn't look too flustered by missing.

by **Hero** Sat 28 May 2016, 9:11 pm

Even Real play park the bus when needed.

by Ent Sat 28 May 2016, 9:14 pm

Defendings part of the game.

They'll look to counter.

Atleti too slow to get forward so Real can get everyone back.

by kingraf Sat 28 May 2016, 9:18 pm

Ten clean sheets this Champions League.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 28 May 2016, 9:21 pm

Clattenburg is doing a good job so far

by kingraf Sat 28 May 2016, 9:23 pm

Kroos off. Not sure I agree but Zizou is Blancos Jésus. Even more so because he actually came back to oead lead us to the promised land once more

by nadeem2099 Sat 28 May 2016, 9:26 pm

Feck Sake!

by Fernando Sat 28 May 2016, 9:27 pm

RM 1-1 Atleti - Yannick Carrasco

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 28 May 2016, 9:29 pm

Danilo is abysmal

by **Hero** Sat 28 May 2016, 9:41 pm

Big game dirty cynical player.

by Ent Sat 28 May 2016, 9:42 pm

Aye, took one for the team there.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 28 May 2016, 9:43 pm

Atletico's biggest threat here will be Real bringing on Ronaldo for ET

by Ent Sat 28 May 2016, 9:50 pm

How much did real pay for Danilo?

He's shocking.

by Fernando Sat 28 May 2016, 9:52 pm

31.5m euros Laugh

Making Andre Santos look a defensive legend.

by GSC Sat 28 May 2016, 9:52 pm

Maybe he can knock in another penalty to make it 4-1 to make it look like he made an impact again

by **Hero** Sat 28 May 2016, 9:53 pm

Carrasco is tearing Danilo apart.

by kingraf Sat 28 May 2016, 9:54 pm

Zidane blundered with the Kroos sub.

by Ent Sat 28 May 2016, 9:54 pm

For a guy with over 300 goals in the last 6 seasons ronaldo sure takes some knocks.

by Ent Sat 28 May 2016, 9:55 pm

Simeones sub and change of shape really worked.

Zidanes subs have negatively effected real.

by **Hero** Sat 28 May 2016, 9:56 pm

Atletico deserve this so much more now.

by Ent Sat 28 May 2016, 9:59 pm

They've been the better side.

by GSC Sat 28 May 2016, 9:59 pm

Probably helped Atletico that they were on the front foot in the 2nd half this time. Last time they were out on their feet in ET

Zidane's subs have killed Real - the Kroos one in particular was baffling

by Ent Sat 28 May 2016, 10:06 pm

Reals shape more than anything is done in, bale is injured and just has to stand up front now.

by kingraf Sat 28 May 2016, 10:09 pm

Ronaldo probably wasn't 100% for this clash. Bale is now basically gone and our midfield is being overrun. This is not going well. At all

by Duty281 Sat 28 May 2016, 10:22 pm

Most impressive person on the pitch has been Mark Clattenburg.

by Guest Sat 28 May 2016, 10:22 pm

Embarrassing by Pepe. Not a likeable side, Real.

by **Hero** Sat 28 May 2016, 10:22 pm

I'd have sent Pepe off for his antics.

by Guest Sat 28 May 2016, 10:27 pm

Ronaldo at 4/1 to miss a penalty is too good to miss.

Had the 1-1 in normal time. Didn't have the balls to go all the way!

by Mad for Chelsea Sat 28 May 2016, 10:29 pm

Clattenburg had a great game, taking no nonsense with any of the histrionics, top performance clap

by kingraf Sat 28 May 2016, 10:31 pm

I have a bad feeling about this. I'm gonna need to buy my family in Madrid commiserations mugs

by **Hero** Sat 28 May 2016, 10:34 pm

It had to be him

by Guest Sat 28 May 2016, 10:35 pm

Those one step penalties do my head in. Plum.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 28 May 2016, 10:36 pm

So undeserving for Real
