Champions League Final, innit.
Have it on as background as I'm not nearly invested enough to give a shite. But the pace of the opening 5 minutes has been insane....
Expect a RM Win, though.

Where did those 5 minutes of injury time come from for the end of the 90 minutes? Simeone was berating the ref at the end of 90 minutes.
Seems as if UEFA want the big fancy club to win to help sponsors. This wasn't an honest game.

I doubt the CL Final was one, but FIFA is a corrupt organization. And someone has yet explained to me how the practice draw for the 2013/14 Champions League Knocked Out Stages happened to be the EXACT same as the draw that was made. What the actual fuck? If that doesn't show corruption, I don't know what does. Fucking pathetic.  uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/world-of-sport/champions-league-draw-exact-same-rehearsal-draw-115551048.html |

Fifa and Uefa are different. whilst there may have been a fix in the CL draw, the odds on groups coming out the same are not as unlikely as you would think, when you take into consideration the teams are grouped into 4 pots and you can't be in the same group as another team from your country. as for five minutes of injury time, it seemed reasonable to me and it's not as though the goal was scored in the 5th of 5 minutes. |

Not a great match, but epic ending. Atlético showed their thing is not letting others do their thing, take advantage of a mistake and play dirty. The ref should have showed more cards.
Madrid were better on second half, Ramos proved he's fecking awesome and the gods of football put it all in order. Four goals at the end and the neighbors in their place. As Noel said, they can take our soul but won't steal our pride.
Ten. Ten cups. One of every six is white. Casillas has three by now. Bale has scored to win two finals. Cristiano made seventeen goals in a 13 matches competition. 17 goals.
Biggest club ever. Biggest sports legend ever.
¿Cómo no te voy a querer?

Actually I like it, it's better than the orange/pink/whatever shirts. I don't like the button. This one is still the best one  |

Roma are in the group of death definitely.
Im quite pleased with Juves group, could have been a lot easier but I think we can make it through.
Dai Ragazzi!

Yours could have been much worse, you've been lucky after all, even if I think Olympiakos are a bit underrated, they're a very good team and it's not easy to go there and play in their stadium with that atmosphere,probably one of the best in the whole Europe Our group is definitely the toughest one, I guess we have to win both matches against CSKA and do our best at home against both Man City and Bayern, I can't see us getting points against them away, but who knows Getting third in the group and trying to win the Europa League would be ok for me |

Agreed, making it far in the EL won't be the end of the world. We really needed Napoli in the CL though, Italy's been struggling in Europe lately

it's always funny to see Italian tifosi complaining  But yeah, you'll have it hard to reach Germany 3rd position. Napoli defense was a joke in San Mamés, you can't expect to be on elite with that. I'll place my bet now: Juventus, Atlético Madrid, Liverpool Benfica, Monaco Borussia, Arsenal Bayern, City Barça, PSG Chelsea, Sporting Porto, Athletic Bilbao I know, no big surprises  |
