13/14 Finalé: Real Madrid v Atlético Madrid - build-up & in-game discussion

Discuss

I'm actually looking forward to seeing Bale play.

Always thought the media here went over board with him so I'm keen to see how he fits in at Madrid.

By all accounts, he has improved technically, but I'm just going on what I've read.

Atlético Madrid for me.
Or at least that's who I'm hoping wins.

Hope Atletico win but I think Real will.  I'd imagine winning La Liga was a heavily celebrated event by Atleti and Madrid won't want to be beaten twice by their 'noisy neighbours'.

Real are definitely going to miss Alonso though.

There would a small glimmer of hope left for football if Atletico manage to do the coveted double. I don't think they will be scared of their opponents but I have a feeling they'll still fall short.

Will deffo be rooting them on though. Should be a good game and Stevie's going to be in the studios so it'll be nice to hear his analysis.

He'll still be commentating I'm afraid.

"Yeah....great pass Clive"
"That is brilliant defending right there"

That's as far as it goes with him isn't it?

Be fantastic if Atletico won it, fingers crossed they do! Ronaldo crying is always amusing.

Damn, Alonso looking sexy, lots of man love for him <3

Gutted he's missing out on the final

Real: Casillas, Carvajal, Varane, Ramos ,Coentrão, Khedira, Modric, Bale, Ronaldo, Di Maria, Benzema.

Hoping Atletico nick it tonight but I think Real will do the job.

Nice touch from Xabi to search out Stevie for an handshake on ITV !

Stevie choosing crybaby over Messi for Anfield ! what your thoughts ?

Can't stand Ramos.

Can't stand Ramos.

Just about to say that. Excellent player but a complete arse hole. That beard and hair combo makes him look pathetic as well.

I'm not even sure I'd call him excellent especially at CB. Full back yes but me isn't a great centre back fr me.

1-0 to Pathetico as Real used to call them !

Think they will need more than a 1 goal cushion at half time.

Mind you - that early substitution in a Champions League final!
