Man, I didn't really want Juventus in the final. With such a good defense, they will wreck Madrid...

Didn't expect the semis to feel like a forgone conclusion this early but here we are.

Looks like we have our final. Juventus has what it takes to win it and I hope they do; Buffon deserves it.
Fantastic match, surprising to me as Lyon was a slight favorite. However, Ajax are fantastic at home.
Yeahhhh.^^ Juventus win.^^ I thought without Cuadrado we will had hard time there.T_T But Higuain Alves and Dybala combi is doing miracle there.^^
That new formation with BBC at the back +Alves is also damn good.^^ Now, lets hope the team won't get overconfidence for the home game.^^

Lol. U guys already enjoyed tons of Semifinal during Pep venture lol. Give other team some chance here.^^
Hey. Don't u go jinx it here.T_T Juve vs Monaco score can still be overturn in Turin there. It is only 2-0 after all.
Hope Buffon and crew stay focused till the match is over next week.^^

Costa has apparently signed a pre-contract with Tianjin, transfer fee is rumoured to be around £90M. Can't say I am unhappy about that.
I'll still miss him though.

Wow. That Higuain price.O_O Guess with this, it is almost guaranteed that Chelsea is going for shopping spree next season huh. I wonder if Morata really is going for Chelsea there.^^
Portuguese newspapers believe the Telegraph rumors about Marco Silva (Southampton, Watford, West Ham and Hull City want him next season).
Quite frankly I don't see Southampton or Watford changing managers even considering Watford dismissed Quique Flores after a very good season last year.
There is also a possibility that he finally lands the manager job at FC Porto if things don't go well in the last part of the season for them.

I wouldn't blame Morata going to Chelsea and I would be happy for him. But I really hope he stays here and gets groomed into a first choice striker here.
Well, with all the rumour saying that u guys at RM is going to target Mbappe, i can see why Morata probably don't see his future in RM anymore.

RM vs Juve in the final huh... (unless somehow Atletico and Monaco do the "impossible" per say).
Should be a good game for sure. Both will need to bring their A game to beat each other, though since it's a single match I *think* Real has a slightly better chance (not by much). If for nothing else, only because they're a far more experienced team in the CL in general (and especially in this late phases of the tournament).
Let the best team win!

Those are just rumors and papers speculating. I am really sure that we are not going to target Mbappe. Maybe we'll negotiate a first-option on him or loan him out for another season, but I really don't see us going for him right now.
I also don't like to talk about an eventual Champions League final yet. Atletico Madrid will go all out, and fight for their lives to turn this result around, and we are usually having a hard time on Vicente Calderon where their fans can create quite the atmosphere.

I mean, sure it's not done yet, but it's gonna be a very different match from a League one (for example, even though the last one worked amazingly well for RM there).
Atletico will have to attack or attack. They have no choice. RM is still the master of counters. All they really need is one half decent chance to run with the ball and they'll more than likely score 1 goal (at the very least), basically sealing the deal.
Remember people, PSG was the exception, not the rule. It's very rare for teams to make comebacks of this magnitude. If anything Monaco has somewhat better chance, since 1 goal will be enough to make them believe they can tie it up (of course, easier said than done too. Dat Juve Wall).

Alright! Full on Video Referee for every single game in the Portuguese League starting this August!
Bring on the tech!In 2015 they actually defend really well vs Juventus there. Hell, we only win thanks to a single penalty there lol.^^

I am not damn sure that Juventus is sure to past right now though. 2 goal is still a reachable thing by Monaco there. And considering Juventus record in UCL, every match for me is a triggering moment for me lol.^^
I see. Well, it is not going to shock me though if you guys actually pushes for him. RM rarely allowed huge player get away there.^^(Kinda like Juventus which always get many talented players both old and young to play for our team.^^)

Portuguese league will have video assistant referees starting next season. Good stuff.
Great.^^ With this, VAR will be on two leagues now? Serie A and Portuguese league?

I'm happy to get 90m for Costa, although I'm not sure if I should be. He's petulant, has been out of form for most of this year and had one foot out the door since we won the title (90m is also a ridiculous price). On the other hand Bats doesn't have it so we're really going to need to find two strikers over the summer and I'm not in love with most of the options.

We're the Beta testers hehe
Still someone always had to endure the "growing pains", per say and if it's a step forward to make the game cleaner I'm all for it! m8, we have mandzukic and kroos in the final. two former bayern player rummenigge and pep desperately tried to get rid of
We're the Beta testers hehe
Haha.^^ Agree. Wonder how Serie A teams and players will response with VAR too lol.^^
Hope no controversy thing going around lol.^^
Our Mr. No Good is not even FW right now lol.^^ Our Defensive winger baby.^^
For that money you could easly buy Lacazette and Icardi. I would also try to tempt Morata. There's quite a few interesting choices.

Enough politics for the day, time to watch a tactical masterclass and King Fellaini produce yet another 1-1.
he was never a classic FW. he worked more in the defense than Schweinsteiger or Kroos back in the days.
really needed him this year
now go beat real please
