Modric completed 90% of his passes in the first half, 26 out of 29.

I guess it's those final passes that seem most obvious when they don't come off.

Chance here

Lucas Hood

Di Maria has made some great runs like that tonight.

Simple enough save. Probably made a meal of it Courtois

Heart was in my mouth for them corners.

Yeah, his misplaced ones were blatant.

Wasn't try to make you look foolish btw, just thought it was interesting how the stats can differ from what people gather from watching a game.

I didn't think he had 90% completion either

Yeah there wasn't much power in it really

Real are very dodgy at the back. They panic whenever the ball is in the box.

Too Tough To Die

There are always nerves when Ronaldo is taking a free kick, but i'd hardly call him a specialist.

Francie Barrett

Why Marcelo didn't start is beyond me.

His stat of 79 on Free Kick Accuracy in FIFA 14 is a fair reflection.

GavRedKing

Khediras played ok but i was suprised isco or illlllllllaramendi (sp?) Didnt start.

Atleti have an amazing ability to win 50/50 challenges, even the 40/60s sometimes

Benzema has been utterly anonymous

Agueroooo

Massive 10mins for Real this..their heads are gone.

keith16

My word. Game is on an absolute knife edge. Engrossing stuff.

wotzgoingon

That was close.

Say Your Number

How did both manage to miss that?

Agueroooo

This is far from over..few more in this.

Was just too high for Ronaldo and him leaping probably put Benzema off

Francie Barrett

Real just look mentally beaten.

El Horseboxo

Simeone has his team playing some great ball. Really hope they hold on and do it.

worst champ league final so far ever..........ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

whatawaster

This is a great performance from Atletico

keeponhurling

While Athletico have been solid at the back, Ronaldo, bale and Benzema have simply been poor

How much longer will Bale be left on ?

SuperTortoise

Athleti to get another and wrap it up i think!

Francie Barrett

This is absolute garbage.

keeponhurling

Shocking by Benzema, simple two yard pass and he gives it away

Nuri Sahin

Silly ref.

Hank Scorpio

Bale ya noodle

Lightbulb Sun

Harsh yellow for Villa.

Mars Bar

The occasion getting to Bale?

LightningBlue

That's two big chances missed by Bale.

Agueroooo

HOLD

Francie Barrett

15 minutes to go and it's like an English League Cup 3rd round tie.

Thought him and Ronaldo were injury doubts before the game, is is not just a case that they arent fully fit?

Milan Juve in 2002 was far worse.

yomtea98

Bad game

keeponhurling

So the tactics are get it to Di Maria and hope he does something with it

Bleating Lamb

Fair play to A Madrid if that hold on,losing Costa and Turan was same as Ronaldo and Alonso been gone for Real so fair f••••s if that hold on.

Why are you still watching it if you don't like it? Do you possess a remote control?

He shouldn't need to be fully fit to score from 7 yards. Although it'd be harsh to expect him to score that second one, it was only a half-chance.

Edit: Nah, he is bottling it actually :pac:

Nuri Sahin

Lols.

Lucas Hood

Teribale

LightningBlue

Bale should have crossed that or pulled it back to the penalty spot.

Atleti totally in their heads with the pressing and harrying.

Greedy Bale

Bale's lost it.

Professey Chin

Jesus Bale

Ulysses Gaze

How many chances does Bale need?
