    They won't win at Wembley. No chance.

    Might be good for him. Hasn't played much football for a while and he pretty much knows that he'll get two games to do something.
    Needs to show that he can get over the injuries and play reliably on a regular basis or he'll be out the door soon, I think.

    Yep, decent player but injuries have held him back for too long. This could be his chance, let's hope he takes it.

    It's common knowledge that Madrid are in decline mate. They're having a mass rebuild in the summer.

    Juve aren't in decline but they missed Dybala and since Vidal and Pogba left they aren't quite as good. Still a quality team.

    Haters gonna hate. But facts are facts (that real madrid are having a very poor season and in decline).

    But let's be honest your performances in Europe this season have been excellent and teams will be taking you as serious contenders.

    I’d rather they didn’t, but yeah you’re probably right.

    Oh, and from what I’ve seen of Pogba, I don’t think he’d have made much difference,

    FFS you pedant <laugh>. Not every comeback has to be 05 Final style. Just think they deserve a lot of credit tonight, it’s the final stages of the competition and they’re away from home. Believe me I don’t want to be giving them praise <laugh>

    I disagree re the Italian league too - whether it’s **** or not has nothing to do with it, Juve have been one of the best sides in Europe for the past few seasons now. The fact they’ve made 2 out of 3 finals says so. Their defence has been second to none.

    Ok granted Juve were without a few key players but Spurs made them look dogshit tonight and that’s with a 2-0 disadvantage after 8 minutes.

    He would do if Jose played him as the attacking midfielder that he is.

    Not sure, mate. His discipline is appalling. He runs around chasing the ball like a kid in the playground.

    This is pretty balanced and about right imo.

    Yep, stick him up top and let him play. Leave the discipline to midfielders.
