Champions League Final | Juventus V Real Madrid KO 19:45

Dirty Dingus McGee

Seeing as I couldn't find a thread I've decided to start one.

Can't wait for this game, the 2 best teams in Europe with so much at stake for both teams.

If Juve win they can cement themselves as a truly great team as 6 league title in a row topped off by a champions league win would be an incredible achievement.

For Real winning 3 champions league titles in 4 years and the first team to win 2 in a row since the competition format was changed would mark them out as a really special side and up there with some of the best all time.

Looking forward to this.

I think Madrid may just edge it.

BTW love the use of the Interstellar soundtrack in the RTE ad for this.

Really tight game, a real 50/50.

Promised so much, I'm kinda worrying it will struggle to deliver on the hype.

I just hope it's entertaining and the best team wins.

Paddy power have Ronaldo and Higuian to both score in 90mins is now 7/1 going to be put up to 8/1 soon enough.
Surely worth a 10er

Yeah its 20e max, about to throw it on myself.
Hope its a brillant game. Best attack vs the beat defence

Head says Madrid, heart says Juve.

Would love to see Juve win it for Buffon. He seems a lovely fella and one of the greatest keepers of all time.

Not too fond of the likes of Ronaldo and Ramos etc.
So I hope Juve win it.

The first goal is massive tonight. If Juve get it then no better side to defend it and score again on the break.
But if Madrid take the lead then I could see them winning it comfortably.
Juve need to score first.

As above

Wud love Buffon to win it but i think Real will win 2-0

Harry Palmr

I hope Juve win but I'm expecting a fairly cagey game if that is to happen.

The Red Lad

Haven't been looking forward to a cl final more than this one in a long time. Part of me wants to see Buffon win his first and only cl medal the other wants to see Zidane and Ronaldo succeed even more. Should be a cracker going with 1-1 in 90 mins.

Heart says juve, head wants madrid.
CL winner vs EL winner and the manU in me wants mourniho to face madrid and destroy emðŸ˜œ

Dirty Dingus McGee

Heart says Juve as I'd love to see Buffon,Barzagli,Bonucci ,Marchisio,Chiellini and Higuain win a champions league medal.

However my head says Real they have the most deadly combination you can have in sport which is that they are really good and they are also have been really lucky/oppurtunistic over and over again.I just feel Real will find a way to win without necessarily being the best team tonight.

The_Kew_Tour

Always have had soft spot for Juventus so hoping they deliver tonight.

I fancy Madrid on Penos though.

Very tough to predict

Burial.

Hoping for a Juve clinic. Higuain to be the hero and for once not bottle it in a final.

Juve to win it in the 2 - 1 with Buffon saving a Ronnie pen in the 94th minute.

Ahhh if Carlsberg did finals.....

(loved the job they did on the one in 2005 mind)

I think Juventus will do a job on Real .
They have the superior defence and wont give much away ,Real are suspect down the middle and wont keep a clean sheet.
When a good defence comes up against a good attack ,the good defence nearly always comes out on top .

My only reservation would be if nerves get the better of Juventus as they have a history of not showing up in finals.

3 at the back for Juve tonight. Not sure if that is the best move with 2 in centre midfield.
Isco starting for Real too. Right decision that, no time for sentiment in Cardiff.

James not even on the bench. Seems to be the slightly-worse ready made replacement for Sanchez at Arsenal now.

GavRedKing

We might finally see Casemiro get the sending off hes deserved since about November.

Hoping for a Juventus win but Real defending the title is written in the stars I think sadly.

I was surprised when I saw the back three on the team sheet.Think they could be taking a bit of a risk in midfield. Pjanic is very lightweight as the only support for Khedira in midfield particularly when Real are playing 4 central midfield players in their team.

The Backwards Man

Boring 0-0 draw.

Stuck a fiver on over .5 anyway.

Too Tough To Die

It would be a shame to see Real be the first side to retain as i'd like that feat to be reserved for a special team. So, expect Real to win.

Why so about defending the title.

I reckon Juve will win as I wear my Milan jersey, 3-2 aet.
