Uefa Champions League final: Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid
Venue: Estadio da Luz, LisbonDate: Saturday, 24 May


Looking forward to this tonight. Real are favourites with the bookies however Atletico have had an amazing season so far and it would not be a huge shock if they win it and lift the trophy tonight.

I'm happy that Atletico won the la liga however as a neutral I just hope we see a free flowing game tonight and that the best team wins.

Looking forward to this seasons finale too , i suppose we should all want the underdogs to win but with Modric & Bale playing for Real that kind of does it for me.

Can you imagine how big Ronaldo's ego will become if he wins "La Decima" for Real in Lisbon? Blimey.

Still, be good to see him & Bale do it.

Or Atletico. Good stories for both of them. So I'm very much neutral on this one.

I hope football is the winner.

I'd like Atletico to win.
I think their starting 11 was 10m whereas Bale was 100m alone plus they play as a team.
I have however enjoyed Real Madrids football all season and if Atletico hadn't won La Liga I would have liked to see them win it. Mad considering I have supported Barcelona for the past so many years.

Bet365 have an offer on which I have managed to make a 50 bet a risk to me of only 2.50. I am putting the 50 bet on Sergio Ramos anytime goalscorer at 10/1 so fingers crossed for me people!

I'd like to see Bale bang in a late winner after a good game of football with a few goals in.

It's set up for a great game so it will probably be scrappy and stop start.

Impressed to see Xabi Alonso as a Sky Pundit, would have thought he would be with the team somewhere!

If anyone can stop Ronaldo and Bale tonight it's Athletico's defence after the season they have had

I think Madrids line up equates to something crazy with the defence costing more than Athletico's whole starting 11 and subs ( bit more than 10m mind), I might have a bet on Ramos just not sure whether to bet on him scoring or getting sent off lol

Oh fantastic....already lost a substitute with Costa. What a waste.

£55m. Not sure where I got £10m from

If horse placenta made Diego Costa last 9 minutes i'm gettin some of that stuff

Lol what a shocking goal to concede. Quite an average game so far imo.

[GALLARDOGUY]

Never understood the hype about Casillas.

Very over rated IMHO.

Always was going to be in my eyes. Atletico just sit there and don't let many teams dominate them in their own half.
Be hard for Real this half now.

To be fair to him, you have to admire his ability to smear bogies on to little boys!

[greygoose]

Some dire passes by Real in this game.

ITV commentary really is ste isn't it. It's like they have a predetermined story they have to comment too regardless of the actual game.

I avoid ITV if possible for football coverage, they are dire. Is Townsend on commentary? He's the worst. Not looking forward to being forced to watch ITV for England games.
Sky Sports and BT Sport are very good, as is the BBC.

[McClure]

Bale seems to have left his shooting boots at home.

The horrible side of the Spanish game is now kicking in
