Our time clock is now completed

engrMikemd:
Key Opta stats:

- Real Madrid have won their last six European Cup finals, last losing one in 1981 versus Liverpool.

- Mario Mandzukic (Bayern Munich, Juventus) became the third player to score in a European Cup/Champions League final for two different teams after Velibor Vasovic (Partizan Belgrade, Ajax) & Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd, Real Madrid).

- Ronaldo has now scored at least twice as many Champions League goals as any other player in the quarter-final stage (20), semi-final stage (13) and final of the competition (4).

- Ronaldo made his fifth European Cup/Champions League final appearance - only Paolo Maldini, Paco Gento ( and Alfredo Di Stefano (7) have played in more.

- Juan Cuadrado became the third player to be sent off in a Champions League final, after Jens Lehmann (2006) and Didier Drogba (2008).

- Gianluigi Buffon was the third oldest player to feature in a European Cup final (39y 126d) after Dino Zoff and Edwin van der Sar.

- Juventus (4) conceded more goals in this game as they had in the rest of the campaign (3).

Varane is now the youngest player to have won 3 UCL

We are the Champions.

Honestly same as last season.

He hobbled from one team to the other till we won.

DarkRebel69:
TapNaldo could win the UCL all he wants, it still doesn't change the fact that he was out-performed this season. Out-performed by the diminutive Argentine!
If he wins the Balon D'or, he wins only because Real Madrid as a unit was spectacular this season, and not because he played better than Leo.

Recency effect would also work in his favour as we tend to remember and be more influenced by the first and last ithings/items on a list or series of events. And since the UCL is the last major tournament of the season, tonight's win will be more remembered and ultimately result in more biased judgements.

Congrats to Real anyway. They deserved it. That stout demon called Modric is something else.

I weak for you

Bykebyke na bad luck for anybody he supports like FFK for politic.

Everyone he 'forza' against us lost woefully

Bayern
Atletico
Now Juve

Abeg all EPL fans especially Man Utd fans should hope he doesn't support them in the Super Cup else na another gbagaun for Mourinho be that as Zidane will win.

engrMikemd:
abeg let someone changed the topic 12 times UCL conqueors

Suggestions?

There is a popular cliché that defences wins you championships, the attack only gets you there.

As much as our defence is not as watertight as that or Juve, I hope and pray our defence cages all their attacks today and that our attack is proficient enough to win us the 12th.

Its high time you guys ignored this troll for good. The more you quote him the more he feels relevant

Understand something here.
*He used to be an arsenal fan who ran to bayern because of the misfortune of his initial club. That alone should tell you that he is not supposed to see anything good about his club's superiors (Chelsea). You cant expect a barcelona fan to say anything about madrid. They will always tell you Ezquerro was better than raul or ludovic giuly was better than ronaldo the phenomenom .

I checked this.
Dayo seems to have been an eternal fan of Bayern and not at a point Arsenal fan.

On a side note As at 2006 he said 14 years meaning around 1992 (25 years ago). The guy would be at least 40 years plus if he was a teenager as at 1992 which I strongly think he would be.

Nihilist:
Messi can't even remember that he's left handed for God's sake...

If you don't even know which hand to hold the pen with, then don't try tax fraud, kids...cos you will be caught.

You are a wicked person.

so its no longer Higuain's fault. Its now because of the managers! Ok!

I laugh at their excitement.

As if the other coaches were nitwits.

No wahala. 2018 don reach finish. We will see the miracle he will perform.

Lana1:

Ma lawd!!

Pichinchin don turn trophy now. Remember wen y'all were always laughing at Madrid for the same thing??


Cc usbcable krasid

Ain't a bit surprised.

They are good at twisting the rules to favor them.

Na so Messi win Balon Dor ahead of Sneijder and Xavi and Iniesta
Na so Messi win Balon DOr ahead of Ronnie with them sighting goals as the criteria and the following year saying it was based on trophies.

Unstable lots.

Just like the dive the referee gave you guys 2 oshofree fraud penalties

He is surely unwell.

Its people like him that feel they need to Lord everything over a girl

One more game to go lads.
Stay focused
We can beat malaga
Malaga has won 7 of Theo last 8, beating Sevilla Barca Valencia along the way
So do not under estimate them

Hala Madrid

Nothing has been won yet.

There is still two more finals to be played.

"No, James is at Real Madrid and we really want him to stay. We are only thinking about the final stretch. I don't want to talk about other things." - zizou

I kinda don't want james to go.. what do y'all think?

Cc usbcable

I also want James Rodriguez to stay no doubt. But truth is he likely won't.

BBC is our problem. Even when 1/2/3 of the trio is not performing, they will still be fielded. Thus reducing playtime for the others.

Modric and Kroos have been phenomenal too thus making it difficult to play either or both of James and Isco.

hensben:
Mist Nigerian Barcelona fan don't have football knowledge, they started supporting the club due to success and some players like Ronnie and Messi. They were not a football lovers initially but just have to follow what's trending, I.e been a club fan. I know so many of them in my area back in Nigeria.

This is so true.
Before now the most trending threads in sports section used to be EPL club threads but as soon as Barca won the treble with LA midget the spike in posts occurred on their thread.

Notice that nowadays that the posts has reduced and its mainly because laliga no sure for them worse still UCL has been a disaster this season.

Except for one particular dude that keeps posting silly things even if it's senseless. Even in 5 years time that messi will become a shadow of himself this particular dude will leave this place too.

And funnily the lads here call EPL fans plastic fans.

RM winning the league will make them run away from this thread. Unexpectedly loosing CDR to Slaves will make the delete their profiles.

Yonce:
And so??

Messi once did the exact same thing and Barca fans and the world creamed themselves ranting how genius it was.

Nacho didn't do anything wrong

This is what I told my barca brother.
I reminded him of how they shouted the genius nature of Messi to play the free kick without a wall being formed that was when he shut up.

I reminded him again that weeks back messi abused a lines man but was pardoned.

If tomorrow some other player does same and he is pardoned they shout stfu and not scream cheating.

Krasid:
Is Zidane waiting for Sevilla to equalize before bringing on Casemiro?

Kovacic and Kroos did a terrible jib in covering the defence.

Krasid:
Walahi, if Madrid manage to pull off the league and UCL double, I won't complain even if we get eliminated in the group stage of next season's UCL. Imagine winning 3 UCL titles in 4 years and being the first team to defend the UCL. Bonkers!

At this point in my life nothing would give me such joy as a double of liga and UCL.

Its hard but very achievable. I hope we do it.

EmmGee:
I know. But if winning la liga means we lose the ucl. Then i agree.
Barca can't make la liga their private property

As long as we win either its a good season that could have been far better.

EmmGee:
We can beat sevilla. Na celta i dey fear

We can beat all three.

Sevilla is the toughest.

Fine Celta beat us this season but so did Sevilla.

Difference is that Sevilla is well rested compared to Celta that is still in Europa.

I just hope those 3 clubs take a chill pill and let us win.
They have nothing and absolutely nothing to loose.

Especially Celts and Malaga.

Sevilla on the other hand can't end up higher than 4th but I trust them na agidi them go wan do

monerozi5590:
Those guys are not supporting Real Madrid but CR7.
I just don't like plastic fans, because as soon as CR7 leaves or retires they will stop supporting Real Madrid

And What is wrong with them supporting a club because of a player?

They are ManUtd fans not Real Madrid fans. How does that make them plastic or metal?

Stop letting those upBarka fans words get to you.

Everyone does something because of a reason and it's very okay that theirs is because of a former legend of their club.
If Rinaldo leaves Madrid today and goes to MLS are you saying you will stop liking him or won't wish him success their? You will even be interested in the matches he plays there.

Learn to love those who love you
