    Which of those was helped to greatness by a dictator? Which one gains an unfair advantage via state "handouts"?

    Which club is run by a wealthy Russian? Which club has glory hunting fans from Hampshire. Which club is membership owned?

    Prefer L'pool to face them in the final. That should be a cracking tie......providing they don't bottle it tomorrow.

    It might but if Real can withstand everything Bayern threw at them, I am sure they will not lose sleep worrying about Liverpool, bar Mo Salah.

    I am not going to be the judge of this SS. You have your preference and you are entitled to it. I have no wish to start a slagging match, thanks, as it could descend into disrespect. I have no love of Franco, but I take Real on what they have done over the past 18 years or so. And some of their football has been wonderful to behold in those years.

    I feel Bayern were unlucky tonight, and will consider themselves very unlucky to have been eliminated. IMO they are the best team in Europe this year, but a lack of silverware in this competition would suggest otherwise.

    Not sure a discussion of the various criminalities behind Europe's top teams is a slagging match.

    I Hate Real for what they have brought to world football: histrionics, gamesmanship, money money money, etc.

    However, you are quite entitled to love them.

    If we were in a pub watching Real, you and I could get really heated. Thankfully we are separated by 1500km. Real are not the only ones who have adorned "histrionics, gamesmanship, money money money." I think the Italians of Inter in the 60s were the originators of this.

    The Germans in the 70s were forever faking injuries and since then virtually everyone has indulged in the first two aspects, except the USA National team.

    I think they will concede. Perhaps in the first 20, then go on to draw and go through.

    I just can't see Liverpool not scoring. Hope the 5000 travelling fans all get back safely too.

    Was hoping to see a tweet today saying that we get 5M per player that Liverpool signed from us, if they win the Champions League.
    As I have had no confirmation of this, come on Roma! <laugh>

    Roma should not give up, Lovren has a couple more of them in him!
