The season comes to its conclusion with a final between two of the most heralded club sides in the world, Juventus and Real Madrid.

Venue: The Millenium Stadium Cardiff
KO: Saturday June 3rd 2017 at 2045 CET (1945 BST)

This could be a series of matches within a match. Ronaldo v Bonucci, Dybala v Isco, Ramos v Todas las personas.

It should be a colourful occasion as the massed throngs of Juve fans show their hosts what singing is about in their operatic tones, while Real's fans descend on Cardiff from all parts of the globe and Southampton, sporting their magnificent red and yellow flags and sombreros, but sadly coming a distinct third in the singing department - the Italians and Welsh have better voices.

Even here in Spain, non Real fans would like Juve to win. I expect most football fans would like the "Old Lady" to land the big one. My heart wants Juve to win but Real have the two arch villains (Ramos and Ronaldo) in their ranks to destroy those wishes so my head says Real will win a cagey affair 1-0 with Ramos getting the winner.

So I will watch the match, not in my Spurs top but in my shiny, new RM one.
 
Been wishing Juve to win it for a few years now for that reason. Would border on a travesty if he never wins it.

I reckon they will too. Should be an interesting game, two proper heavyweights.

And two contrasting styles. Intriguing contest.

Really looking forward to this. Will be backing Juve, but can see this one going to extra time.

I just hope Real don't get an early goal, will be very difficult for Juve then.

It would. Buffon and Chiellini are two reasons I hope that won't happen.

Anyway at 1-0, up I can't see Real going into their shells. They'll be pushing hard for the 2nd, and still vulnerable to the counter.

Higuian is the other reason I would never count Juve out.
 
Juve for me. If Real have to win it, I want it to be 1-0 on penalties with Bale getting the winner after Buffon saves the first 4 penalties and 5 Juve players miss the target.
 
Just watching the BBC West news. Apparently as the 4,000 hotel beds in Cardiff sold out ages ago in advance of the CL final, Bristol hotels have been tripling their prices. There's nice. One Real Madrid fan has passed through Bath and Bristol after walking all the way from Spain!
