Great game
Hopefully Bale gets a starting spot next season

Good game yesterday, was watching at a friend's house. Was definitely sad to see Salah and Carvajal get injured, but it's part of the game. I hope Bale and Cristiano won't leave, I don't know how much of it is self-marketing and how much is actual news.

Also, hey mate, long time no see.

I'm not sure about the ronaldo situation but if bale isn't given more starting time, he's gone for sure. Hopefully that doesn't happen

¿Cómo no te voy a querer?
¿Cómo no te voy a querer?
¡Si fuiste campeón de Europa...
...por decimotercera vez!



There's way too many syllables to make the verse work now, but who gives a crap? 3 in a row, 4 in 5 years, 13 in total.... ¡HALA MADRID!

After having such a shit season, it had to be Bale and Karim that scored in the final

That 2-1 goal though Easily the goal of the season, and perhaps the best ever in a CL final along with the goal Zizou scored in 2002.

Shame about those injuries though. It looks like Salah will make it to the WC, which is good news, however I'm more doubtful about Carvajal... unfortunately it's not looking good, but I really hope he makes it... he really deserves to be in Russia after missing the Euro 2 years ago after another injury in the CL final. La Roja needs you, Dani

And Karius... geez, no words. It was already common knowledge that Liverpool needed a new and better keeper, but he was absolutely atrocious in the most crucial game of the season. No excuses for that tbh... I'd be really pissed if I was a Liverpool supporter, although at least he had the guts to go and apologize to the fans in the crowd right after the game ended.

Not sure what's up with Cristiano... I've been busy partying and sleeping, and I haven't really looked into it. I'm not all that surprised if Cristiano is upset... he's obviously not happy with how Real Madrid has handled the tax fraud issue. Cristiano, as much as I love him, is a self centered guy and demands Madrid to give him the same treatment Barça gave Messi... that is constantly claim he's innocent and that the spanish justice system is making an insane conspiracy against him. Madrid isn't doing that (fortunately our principles and honor come before any player, and the club's statements have been simply limited to things like confirming our faith in Cristiano's innocence, while respecting the judiciary and taxing authorities that are just trying to do their job), and it's obvious that that is pissing off Cristiano... well, I don't give a fuck. I hope he stays, but he has to grow up and understand that Madrid has to act a certain way, and no player, no matter how important, can change that.

About Bale... well, I've talked about it a few weeks ago. The guy is constantly injured, mentally worn out, and seemingly fallen out of both Zidane's and the dressingroom's favour. If he can use last night's performance to bounce back, and he wants to stay, then fine by me, but if we go by what we've seen throughout the whole season, him leaving would probably be the best way out for all parties, provided that we receive a good offer.

for a good price we will take bale

I just realized that we now have more CL titles that the second team with the most CLs (Milan, 7) and the third (Ajax, Bayern, Liverpool or Barça with 5... chose one) combined

Meanwhile, Cristiano has become the 11th player ever to win 10 CLs, joining the exclusive list made up by:

Alfredo Di Stefano (Real Madrid CF 1955/56, 1956/57, 1957/58, 1958/59, 1959/60)
Héctor Rial (Real Madrid CF 1955/56, 1956/57, 1957/58, 1958/59, 1959/60)
Marquitos (Real Madrid CF 1955/56, 1956/57, 1957/58, 1958/59, 1959/60)
José María Zárraga (Real Madrid CF 1955/56, 1956/57, 1957/58, 1958/59, 1959/60)
Juan Alonso (Real Madrid CF 1955/56, 1956/57, 1957/58, 1958/59, 1959/60)
Rafael Lesmes (Real Madrid CF 1955/56, 1956/57, 1957/58, 1958/59, 1959/60)
Juan Santiesteban (Real Madrid CF 1955/56, 1956/57, 1957/58, 1958/59, 1959/60)
Paolo Maldini (AC Milan 1988/89, 1989/90, 1993/94, 2002/03, 2006/07)
Costacurta (AC Milan 1988/89, 1989/90, 1993/94, 2002/03, 2006/07)

and, ofc, Paco Gento, the only player with 6 (Real Madrid CF 1955/56, 1956/57, 1957/58, 1958/59, 1959/60, 1965/66)

From that list it should be noted though that, unlike the always instrumental Gento, Di Stefano, Rial, Zárraga, Marquitos and Maldini (which featured as starters in all of the finals they won... except Rial in 1960, Zárraga in 1959 and Marquitos in 1958, due to an injury)... Juan Alonso was only the starting keeper in his first 3 CL finals (he was the bench keeper in the following seasons), Lesmes also was a starting defender in his first 3 CL finals (but became a bench player in the following seasons), and Costacurta (despite being instrumental during his first 4 titles) was completely irrelevant when he won his 5th title (he only played 3 games that season, after which he retired).

Oh and, Santisteban... well he was just lucky as fuck to be part of the best ever Real Madrid side... he was always a bench player, and only featured once in a CL final, when he played instead of an injured Zárraga

yo skug gz y hala madrid (all madristas but specially zark and skug <3)
i gave you once 13,37 fg did you make 2.6k out of it betting on real the last 3 finals xd?
Yea Bale is injured quite often though i think there will be changes for next season and i think they are needed aswell

In all the talk about Karius and Salah, this goal hasn't been hyped enough. For Liverpool fans, being able to look at this, as the game winning goal, should make the loss a bit easier to accept. True brilliance to win a game.

As bad as the game might have been, just imagine if he didn't score this goal and it was 2-1 with those 2 errors.



This is 1 month after Ronaldo did exactly the same thing, for the same team that Zidane did it for too. Real Madrid giving us some of the greatest moments in football history.
