Champions League Final - Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid

[keniget]

Anyone else fearing that if Real don't win this game they will come to us in the summer with a stupidly crazy bid for Suarez. £100m?

Not really. We wouldn't get 100M anyways.

I don't know about that, hopefully the injury scares them away. Benzema isn't at the level of the guys around him.

Amazing to see A.Madrid players running around like it's the first game of the season. Their fitness and endurance this season has been amazing.

Yeah I was just thinking to myself - my, I wouldn't want to play this team unless I wanted to test myself. They're like a swarm of very angry bees.

Was just thinking that too. They look incredibly fit.

The American Fox broadcast is terrible. Gus Johnson and the other guy keep harping on about the underdog storyline instead of providing analysis. I think they might actually sound disappointed if Real score.

Ramos unlucky to get a yellow I think, it's been really inconsistent across the board.

Other thing annoying me about the Fox broadcast is that they aren't looking at any of the 50/50 challenges, which I imagine is because the commentators have no input to provide.

Setting up for a great second half.

 

[Red Bird]

Real's two fullbacks don't offer enough. They need to overlap more to create space inside for Di Maria, Ronaldo, Bale. They're doing fuck all.

Di Maria is the matchwinner here for me.

And what are di Maria and Bale supposed to be doing?

 

[Athens]

Real have been sticking in the odd desperate tackle now and and again.

 

[Athens]

That didn't warrant a yellow.

Was ancalotti manger of Ac when we won in 05?

Yup

 

[Leo]

Gabi and Felipe Luis have been outstanding.
Gabi in particular he's running the game.

 

[Athens]

Atletico are missing a final killer ball.

 

[Fabio]

Benzema looks so out of place on this pitch

 

[Judge Jules]

In that amazing video with Connery on the soundtrack reciting "A Day In The Life" there's a brief clip of Ancelotti celebrating on the touchline when their third goal goes in, and one of the best banners I've ever seen at a football game was a Liverpool one in Istanbul which read: "Hey, Ancelotti - we've got the stereo!". 😀

That chewing gum is getting chewed faster and faster, reminds me of him in 05.

 

[Fabio]

Bale should have hit the target there

 

[Hansern]

I want ET and penalties. Come on Real!

 

[keniget]

Benzema looks so out of place on this pitch

I feel a little sorry for Benzema. He always looks like that kid who knows his father will always be disappointed in him but keeps on plugging away anyways. He's not as good as Real need / want him to be but the fact that they heap abuse on him can't be helping the guy!

Wouldn't want us to spend a wad of cash on him but I do wonder whether a move would see him blossom a little bit rather than always looking like a beaten man.

 

[Fabio]

Bale should have hit the target there!

Or at least squared

 

[Athens]

Bale should have hit the target there!

I think squared.

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

You have a right foot Bale.

 

[keniget]

Who was Alonso raping in the crowd?

 

[the count]

 

[Fabio]

Nearly silk from isco

 

[Athens]

You have a right foot Bale.

That's his standing foot.

 

[Fabio]

Who was Alonso raping in the crowd?

Was it jese? The other young real striker?

 

[Spaghetti Legs]

The goal is coming.

 

[Athens]

It's getting a bit scrappy.

 

[keniget]

Hmm. Atletico are spent. If Real do score they'd be odds on to go on and win it.

 

[Hansern]

Gabi should be bitchslapped for play acting
