SMH SMH Madrid should have iced the game in the 1st half but couldn't finish any of their chances

 

[heggsy]

I've seen enough Barca/RM match-ups for a lifetime.

This. They play each other at least 4 times a season. Let Juve have their moment, they've done amazingly well, They've given Italian football some pride tonight, considering how poor it's been in recent years. Yeah they'll likely be beaten in the final but to get to the final of the CL is a fantastic achievement for players and Conti alike.

That iker throw tho. FFS

I'll be watching that poll about Bale v Memphis very closely over the next few days.

Juventus doing big things

 

[atransta]

Please win Juventus

Why doesn't Ronaldo take people on anymore?

He didn't have 1 shot in the 2nd half. And he has zero goals in the 2nd half in all of the champions league matches this year.

just to put it out there again, bale and ronaldo will not be on the same team in the fall

Because he's starting to slow down in pace, he's turned to becoming a more efficient player. He cut out a lot of the tricks and take ons, and instead uses positioning and vision to beat his man.

i was saying the same thing to my boy....its like he doesn't have that killer instinct or he's trying to be fair

My friend who's Italian and a huge Juve fan couldn't help himself from blowing up my phone after they won since I straight up laughed at him when he said they'd be in the final before the season started

eh i don't think much of it has to do with pace ...i think part of it has to do with his maturity as a player...he doesn't seem as daring as he used to be as though he is thinking too much and wanting to play careful. but like you said that also has to do with him wanting to be more efficient.

Is Klopp holed up somewhere learning Spanish?

Buffon

Even though he's one just about everything there is to win in world football,Gigi still has yet to earn a CL Winners medal,what a great opportunity for a legend

But he isn't nearly as dangerous. He was basically nobody in the 2nd half. Bale had more chances then him.
It's like he's purely a finisher now and doesn't create

Yes, that's exactly where he's gravitating towards. He's 30 this year. He's not getting any faster. To continue to perform at the level he is, he's adapting to ensure he doesn't have a dip in form. If he gets it right, he can play in the top level for another 3-5 years. His adaptation is necessary...

to say that he's not as dangerous is simply a wild statement. Completely unfounded. Dude is scoring something like 50 goals a season for like 5 years straight. Please, enlighten me how that is not dangerous?
