2-1 to Atlético, not putting any wager on it though.

I believe that Atlético will have more hunger to win this..
Real will not have the same motivation as was at stake for decima.

hope there are a few goals anyway.

I take it RTE are showing this?

Kerrigooney

Fingers and toes crossed for an Atleti win.

Ronaldo in tears at the end would be a nice bonus.

RTE2 yeah, have the usual suspects on the panel

If Atleti play a high pressing game which they have shown their more than capable of Real will struggle. They've struggled all season from it. The difficulty is deciding between taking that risk and leaving Real's front 3 with more space to work with. Zidane's Madrid are rather conservative themselves favoring possession in deeper positions so unless one team takes the impetus this might be somewhat boring for the casual viewer.

Really looking forward to it!

Either 1-1 or 1-0 to Atletico

dfx-

2-0 Madrid for me. Atletico's season has had a whiff of running on empty in the final few weeks including the semifinal 2nd leg.

Sir Alex looking very well.

Embarrassing Americanising of footie. No one wants this shiyte.

I really hope Atletico win.To make up for what happened in 2014 mainly,and because of Simeone and the heart and desire his team have but also because of the continuously disrespectful attitude the British media treat them with over and over again.

If I hear one more time that Griezmann will be wanted by all the big clubs or a query as the why Simeone is still with them I'm going to put my boot through Gary Linekers head.

The way some of the British media go on you'd think they were some mickey mouse outfit who'd never won anything before in their history and will never win anything again, it's unbelievably patronising guff from some of them.Did they ever think that the players and managers actually like playing for them and are happy there.

That_Guy

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus no!

Oh god wtf is this!

JustTheOne

This is ridiculous.

That_Guy

Alicia "out of" Keys....

GreNoLi

What's going on?

I'd sooner watch Richard Keys

_Kaiser_

WTF is this trend to try and turn football finals into some sort of "event" like this, and then picking someone like Alicia Keyes to do it - completely unrelated and out of place!

Harry Palmr

I'd sooner lose my keys...

bur

Alicia killing it, a cat it sounds like.

Lovely Bloke

statto25

Was the game cancelled? I seek to have tuned into a feckin Alicia Keys gig.

Call Me Jimmy

And an intimate number for the football fans

BoJack Horseman

Well, at least we know that Alicia Keys is no longer relevant ...

So that's something...

Underground

5 minutes before kick off.

Remember in previous years we would get a recap of both teams route to the final, some interviews from past players and club legends from both sides, a decent build up.

Now we get this shiyte.

Unearthly

Get off the Fecking pitch you useless hack

TheTownie

They could at least have got a proper rock act if they were insistent on making asses of the pre-match gubbins. - get in Accept - they could play Balls to the Wall, at least it references a ball! :pac:
