[Football] Champions League Final: Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid (Saturday, 20:00)

No history lesson needed, bollox.

The moral? Take your chances.

 

[AlexBH]

Useless Dortmund, should’ve taken their chances, they’ve blown this final. Sick of Real Madrid. Horrible club.

 

[Krafty]

Of course, the player that should have been sent off scores the winning goal. Cheaters always win

You have to admire Madrid. An absolute Champions League machine. Even more admirable is that they have actually changed strategy from Galacticos to young talent and still sweep all away. To play 18 finals and win 15 is actually insane.

 

[AlexBH]

Thought Bellingham was rubbish tonight. Hopefully not a sign of things to come for England.

Probably he's battered

 

[Eric the meek]

Were Madrid 2-0 better than Dortmund? The result says yes, but not really, no.

 

[Justice]

Dortmund put in a proper Brighton performance, missed a load of chances first half and then fell apart second half. 1-0 fair enough second goal was a mess.

 

[Krafty]

Not a classic in the end, 2-0 Madrid. Look forward to the EUROs now.

 

[Eric the meek]

Jude Bellingham getting emotional there. Keep it together for the cameras FFS Jude!

Classic early Potter-ball and late De Zerbi-ball.

I thoroughly recommend not trying to find out anything about that ****.

It's extremely depressing.

He’s a nonce

One team took chances and one didn’t. Which team was better?

 

[Eric the meek]

One team took chances and one didn’t. Which team was better?

You're right of course. It's the result that counts. Nothing else matters.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Thought Bellingham was rubbish tonight. Hopefully not a sign of things to come for England.

Rio Ferdinand said he hasn’t really played well in any of the CL games.

 

[Justice]

These top teams never panic 2-0 down and they keep going playing the same way just knowing chances will come and they have the quality to take them.
Lesser teams may have good spells although as we know we start flapping miss place easy passes, miss the net from a yard out, defenders get sloppy on the ball.
Quality players win these games tactics only go so far.

I’m in a bar in Bruges watching the final. It’s absolutely rammed with Dortmund fans - amazing atmosphere.

Rather heartening is that all the fans we’ve spoken to ( and a load of Dutch fans who don’t like the Germans) all know the name Brighton and Hove Albion.
We’ve come a long way!

The boon of the night was a Chelsea fan who spilt the smallest tiniest amount of my pint but insisted in buying me another pint.
I resisted, but relented

Dahoud too, more predictably. https://www.instagram.com/stories/modahoud8/3381059282830294288?igsh=MTFpYXVjYWc4dGJhYw==

So the FA insist that the biggest police operation will be enforced because of the Euro 2020 final disgrace and that another late kick-off on a weekend day might result in more potential trouble.

Absolutely embarrassing then that a pitch invader approached Vinicius Junior for a selfie - luckily no knife and another one took over a minute to be rugby tackled to the ground with a third allegedly a pro-Russian war supporter wearing a cryptic T-shirt.

We can't hold big matches in this country. I hope UEFA take action after security f**k-ups once again.
