At least none of Atletico's players are serial racists like the club he supports. People. Glasshouses. Stones.

that's a photoshop if ever I saw one, been going to Madrid games for 12 years and never saw anything like that

stop posting rubbish if you don't know what you are talking about

As far as I know its genuine, but I'm certainly no expert in Photoshop.

The ultras sur are notoriously right wing, ironic you should accuse someone else of not knowing what they're chatting about

What's casillas not playing in any league games all about?

Yeah, ronaldo is entitled to celebrate, but the only thing worse than a sore loser is a bad winner. Stripping, screaming, muscle flexing? Is all that necessary for scoring a goal after the match had already been effectively won?

I really think had the tables been turned and Atletico were up 3-1, had an Atletico player fired the fourth from the spot and proceeded to whip his shirt off and gone wild people here would be gushing praise for his passion and determination culminating in a well-deserved moment. People just love to hate on Ronaldo.

What's on Arbeloa's t-shirt?

Seems to have a Union Jack in the front, and the word "dick" on the back in between something in Spanish

Never said that. Just that a sizable proportion obviously have no issues with such politics.

Got 800/1 for Madrid to win the champions league final in extra time at the start of the season. Chuffed.

I have 801/1 myself. Annoyed I missed the bigger prices, but a win is a win.

Simeone runs on to the pitch to confront a player before the match is over and the usuals are up in arms about Ronaldo taking his shirt off after celebrating a goal.

I'm curious to see exactly what the player did to prompt that reaction, considering the Real players seemed to be giving him **** & he got a yellow I think Simeone may have just reacted to him being a ****

Is George Hamilton saying its Casiles's first CL win? Has he not won a it a few times?

He won it in 2002 as a squad player, don't know before that.

The over-celebration, shirt stripping, muscle flexing, screaming in a game that was already over was unwarranted over the top and Mouriniho-esqe in terms of trying to steal the limelight.

Humility is a lovely human quality ... some people don't have it.

He played the last 25 minutes of the game

Chuffed certainly is not a strong enough word. How much did you stick on that?

Just the casual two grand you know. Would have done more but with property tax and water charges coming in, owning 3 houses in Ireland and abroad I'm feeling the pinch.

Ronaldos a legend. He's giving his 750k bonus to charity.

Are we to be impressed he gave the equivalent of what? 2ish weeks wages to charity?

I was only 6 at the time, so I didn't actually see it, just say him celebrating in the fountain with the team.

Varane kicked the ball along the turf. It rolled right onto Simeone's foot. Simeone blasted it back. Varane ducked and Simeone went for a perambulation onto the pitch in the direction of Varane.

This is his 3rd CL win.

Judging the appropriateness of celebrations seem to be the new thing in football



God forbid players celebrate a goal in the CL final.

Lol at the Ronaldo haters, they were delighted with him doing nothing and it looking like Real were going to lose, now when they win and he scores and dares to celebrate, they're going mad.

He's a truely great player, but some people will never give him the full credit he deserves because of his appearance, or the perception of him being vain, or whatever. Who gives a fúck? He's a quality player and that's all that matters. I'd say this goal in particular meant alot to him, a goal in the final in his home country, in the city he grew up playing in. Let him celebrate away, I don't understand people letting themselves get annoyed by that.

He does an awful lot of good off the pitch but noone ever talks about that when describing him as a person, just that he's vain and self-centred apparently.

Agueroooo

Keeping Di Maria and selling Ozil is the stuff of genius.

He's a great player and I'm delighted for him, but both he and Bale were crap for most of the match.

Not mad at Ronaldo. Just having some LOL's at the neck of the guy. He was rubbish tonight. Possibly the worst on the pitch.

Simeone looks like a cross between a nightclub owner and a funeral director.

Have you given two weeks wages to charity in a lump sum yet? I didn't think so.

Mad how players get an urge to take their shirts off after a goal, never happens in other sports

Benzema gets that title by a long shot.

You have to consider how could Atleti are at marking/closing down the opposition threats out of a game. Added to the fact Ronaldo had a hamstring knock I don't think he was rubbish.

Atelti neutralised him brilliantly.

Gutted beyond the belief at the result but the Ronaldo abuse is ridiculous.

Forget the other games in which he was key in.

Really stupid comparison considering 1 weeks salary for him is equal to about 10 years salary for us.

He was rubbish. He may have had his reasons, but he was rubbish.

Bad yes, but not the worst on the pitch. But as I say, he can celebrate all he wants, god knows he did enough to get that team to that stage. You'd swear by the reaction of some people to his celebration that it was a fringe player that had hardly contributed all season.

Yea, I saw it. I don't see the problem. Where I work, they had the European Championships and Cheltenham on the TV in the canteen. It's not a big deal.

Not really. He's the one who made the stupid comparison by trivialising £750k as two weeks wages for him. He's still a good man off the pitch and has had a tremendous CL this year and deserves to celebrate.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Anyone know who got man of the match? Sorry if it's been answered


Convinced that di Maria should have gotten it

Fescue

Ronaldo didn't celebrate Bales winning goal, stayed on the half way line. Didn't hold back when he scored his meaningless fourth though. As usual, its always about Cristiano.

There's people in here born in the 2000's ?

Fcuk, I feel bloody ancient now.

Which hotel are the Real squad staying in, I assume Marty Morrissey will be at the banquet?
Grabbing a few interviews, and handing out the MotM award

The meltdown over Ronaldo's celebration is hilarious :pac: Rugby might be a more appropriate sport for those offended by such celebrating.

No, he was 6 in 2002. You've got a few years left before you feel ancient!

Have to respect the smugness of Varane too. Main contribution: backtracking away from Simeone like a sheep looking down the eyes of a Mayo man.
