Match Day Thread Champions League Final

Two lucky deflections for Madrid.

 

3-1 Madrid.

 

Game over

 

Come on. This has been a fantastic game and this is the best team in the world playing with the best player in the world scoring twice. Been absolutely supreme, Real has.

Don't under estimate how good Juve are, they're the best of the rest, by quite a margin.

 

Madrid have been class in the second half.

 

Yeah those were 3 very very good team goals, I don't think I've seen many team goals scored like that in all of last season, definitely not in one game.

 

It's so strange how having the biggest revenues and subsequent spend seems to correlate to then being the best team. Really odd coincidence, that.

Remember the times when Marseille and Red Star Belgrade were competing? Halcyon days indeed and, like most of football, long dead.

It's all so utterly meaningless to me I'm afraid. It's uninspiring, tiresome and even irksome. Commentators and media all sycophants to the last, endlessly sucking up to soccers megastars. Leicesters exploits felt like an irritating, amusing sideshow to the "important stuff". Thankfully all that underdog rubbish is behind us now, we can look forward to cheering on Russian bloodmoney next season. Cos we all love the big clubs of course.

I'd set the rules of a breakaway as sure, have a Euro league, but you cant tap up any non-Euro league clubs for talent. See how they get on when the humble beginnings aware forgotten.

 

I missed the match but Dianne Abbot tweeted the score. Apparently Juve won by seven wickets.

I checked Theresa May's twitter feed first to be fair. She tweeted a lot about the match, but never seemed to mention an actual score. She was "very clear" that a game was going on though.

 

Messi wasn't playing??
