How old? Should be able to take him too. Lots of youngsters when I've watch the last few finals including Istanbul
No real decent pubs around here that will show it (maybe 1 but not a great place). So the in laws are coming and my oldest back from Uni so we'll watch it at home.
Nobody will buy this double bluff mate, we all know you're gonna paste your tele screen in jizz when he takes his top off.
I’ll be eating grubs with the tribe in the wilds of Madagascar, and unfortunately won’t have access to the internet. Gutted I’ll miss it tbh.
Joking aside if the RS were hand picking one of the European elite to meet in the final it’d be Real imo. As Marcelo can’t defend for ****e and invariably gets caught out of position which will play right into the hands of Salah FC. I called it the moment Roma saw off Barca in the quarters, Beelzebub has definitely returned to the kopite fold.
I'm just going to get a load of beers in and just enjoy the whole thing. Hopefully I'll be celebrating come the final whistle.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44173733 Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo will be fit for the Champions League final against Liverpool in a week's time, says manager Zinedine Zidane. Ronaldo, 33, has not played since spraining his ankle during the El Clasicodraw with Barcelona earlier this month but could feature against Villarreal in La Liga on Saturday. Real will attempt to win their third straight Champions League title when they meet Liverpool in Kiev on 26 May. "Right now he is 120%," said Zidane. Good news, I don't want any ****er using him not playing as an excuse IF we win.
https://www.si.com/soccer/2018/05/20/liverpool-youth-real-madrid-madrid-champions-league-final The great debate of youth or experience will take center stage in Kiev in less than a week's time, with a Liverpool squad averaging an age of 25 taking on the dominant European force that is Real Madrid. The two sides are currently on polar opposite ends of the road leading to success, with the Reds clinching just two trophies in the same time it has taken the Spanish giants to lift 18 since 2006. Yet, despite the share of experience heavily favoring Real Madrid, Liverpool's perceived weakness may just be the ace up the sleeve needed to topple their Spanish counterparts' stranglehold on the Champions League trophy. Zero experience in a European Cup final across the entirety of Liverpool's squad may be enough to start the rumblings of nerves deep in the gut of any member of the Anfield faithful. And the knowledge of the Spanish outfit having played in four of the last five Champions League finals - winning three - may just very well ensure any hope of remaining sane in the lead up to the game is all but gone. But this is where Liverpool thrive. Where Jurgen Klopp inspires and where the Liverpool supporters answer the call when all odds seemed to be stacked against the club. It may be an unfamiliar environment and occasion for the Reds' playing squad, but not for Liverpool. The club was built for this very occasion, and if the European road traveled this season is a sign of things to come, then Real Madrid are going to need every last ounce of experience to make it four in five. Klopp already laid down the challenge to his chargers earlier this week as he told the Liverpool Echo: "They [Real] are favorites, they know everything, they could write the script for the final because they have experienced it four times in the last five years. “In the end it will be a test: what's bigger the desire to win a third one in a row or the desire to win the first one for some years?" Although the Reds will be hoping to dispel such aura of Real Madrid, they have made inroads in establishing one of their own throughout their ventures through Hoffenheim and Maribor, Manchester and Rome - all of which have showcased an unrelenting energy which forces the opposition into submission. please log in to view this image Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are the obvious headliners for such approach after netting 29 goals between them in Europe this term - and combining for 127 in all competitions. The trio are entering the prime of their career and despite combining for only two Swiss Super League titles, the Austrian Bundesliga title and the Austrian Cup, their season's worth of work speaks volumes. A combination of blistering pace, runs off the shoulder and a continual interchange in positions can bamboozle the best of defenses, to which Real Madrid do not necessarily possess. Three members of Real's regular back-line are aged 30 or over, and the obvious player to target is Marcelo. For all his experience, the Brazilian is culpable of drifting too far up the field - enabling Salah to expose the space should he do the same in Kiev. It will be a dangerous game to play for Real Madrid, as while they might have the know-how to navigate a game of such magnitude, the Reds, once given a sight of goal, are capable of inflicting maximum punishment within a matter of minutes.Throughout their European campaign this season, Liverpool have scored two or more goals in 12 of their 14 games. And 10 of those have come as a result of devastating spells, with the semi-final against Roma at Anfield the obvious example after netting five goals in the space of 33 minutes. And the key to it all is youthful exuberance and the absence of mental scars within the competition, as luckily for Liverpool most of the current squad were absent for the misfortune of their last appearance in the Champions League under Brendan Rodgers. Unlike the now Celtic manager, Klopp - in his first season at Europe's top table with Liverpool - has unshackled any lingering weight of expectation from his players, and full backs Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson are the main benefactors of such free flowing football. The former is an academy product from the club and the latter an £8m signing from the relegated Hull City last term. The unlikeliest of duos have become the corner stones of Liverpool's charge to the final, and while their attacking flair is key, it is their defensive duties under pressure which will be paramount inside the NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium.
I don't pay much attention to them, I heard that he was injured but not that he played on the weekend. No wonder Zidane said 120% fit then.
And stand with a bunch of grown men in Liverpool shirts shouting absolute **** for 90mins. Miss a goal everytime I go for a piss. Not hear the in game commentary and have to stand on a chair to catch the left hand part of the screen? No thanks mate. I'll watch it full volume with some cans of beer and listen to the commentary. PL games then yeah the pub occasionally but big big games I prefer watching at home. Plus less likely to punch some Muppet in the grid if we lose.
