    really really hope Juve can do it tonight. Just please no 'la paura', the age old Italian fear of losing which actually means fear of playing. (main reason why Juve haven't won the European Cup as it was as many times as they should have). Or going 1-0 up and trying to sit on it all game.
    Think Vidal will be key. Pogba is back although not sure how fit he really is. No ref mistakes.

    Juve won't try and play for a 0-0. I think Juve will score tonight and wouldn't he surprised if we see Madrid win 2-1 and the game going to extra time.

    Don't much care who wins, but would like to see a real contest. Not seen Juve enough this season to know if they can handle what Real will throw at them tonight.

    I really hope that Real Madrid don't get through.

    I don't want an El classico final because the whole narrative of the match will who is best again, Ronaldo or Messi and that will be in between all the diving, bitching and whining that usually accompany those games.

    I can understand where you are coming from, but I think you are going to be disappointed.

    That's really clumsy defending.

    I thought it was a soft decision until I saw the replays and I think the referee got it right and the defender got it badly wrong.

    Has anyone seen enough of pogba in relation to the figures quoted for him.

    He doesn't look anything special on the limited amount I have seen of him

    Yes, he's comfortably one of the best midfielders in the world at 22 years of age.

    In order for Pogba to be anywhere near worth the quoted fees by the press he needs to score at least 20 goals a season and he is nowhere near that.

    Juve playing this with plenty of spirit and belief, but seem to lack the firepower of Real, especially now Benzema is back and playing as though he has been eating raw meat for the past few weeks.

    How many midfield players are scoring 20 goals a season?

    Ooh, Marchisio had the tie at his feet, but not to be. I wonder if Real lose this tie if Bale will be on his way out.

    What a miss there by Gareth Bale.

    Can see real getting another soft penalty before the end if it stays 1-1

    Wouldn't surprise me to be honest, Madrid players seem to be flinging themselves to the floor every time the ball is near the penalty area.

    Juve parking the bus and a couple of articulate lorries and who can blame them. Meanwhile Real fans have started diving for penalties.

    Madrid should be able to break them down with their 80 million pound superstars and what not.

    The decision Madrid made in selling Di Maria was ridiculous.

    They look kinda toothless and also lack creativity without modric.
