He should be going before Juanfran. That's simple mathematics.

I don't get it, ronaldo does nothing for 120 mins and is now lauded for scoring a penalty?

After having a poor game, he still had the mental toughness to step up and score the winning penalty despite all the pressure on him.

That's what he's being lauded for.

But they have have the trophy so peoples opinions on who is the best team is irrelevant.

Dunphy: "Bale didn't do anything all season just scored a few goals in a weak league"

Doesn't say a lot tbh. Bale was the best of a very very bad lot

Yeah in group games that dont count as they have already topped the group. I know he is regarded as one of the best players in the world, but he really does go missing when it matters.

Like the hatrick he scored in the quarters when they looked to be out.

Simeone casually slapping each Madrid player. I'd say it's killing him to keep himself from clinching his fist

Diving, crying, fouling, bitching...
Terrible game.

Some great pens though.

Like they care if some guy on a forum thinks they're not the "best team in Europe", which is completely your own opinion.

They're champions of Europe, end of.

Why would they care what I think. You do though and that's good enough for me. They aren't the best bloody team in Europe, they aren't even the best team in Spain. A series of lucky draws and a penalty shoot out. Color me unimpressed.

The best team doesn't always win in knockout football, big deal. They did enough to progress all the way through and edged it on the night. They're champions of Europe again and that's all there is to it.

Have to feel bad for Atletico though. They were the best team in Europe this year overall, had the tougher route, yet just didn't hold their nerve at the crucial moment as Real did. They did well to bounce back from one devastating CL final loss, but twice in three years will be tough. Hopefully Simeone can keep building the team and they can achieve that ultimate goal soon.

Well I gotta appeal to the younger crowd. At least they are possibly the least deserving winners since the competition was reformatted into the Champions League.

I wonder did Pepe hit the deck after a slap,

Happy for Zidane & Bale. But Pepe, just no......

You're not really considering the younger crowd. You're engaging in hyperbole that is easily dismissed as nonsense.

Real Madrid best team in Europe. Barca couldn't even touch them. Barca will turn into "this is our year" team in the CL

Oblak... well, except it would be to his left.

As much as I dislike Ronaldo, he deserves it after scoring 16 goals in this seasons competition.

He has the record for goals scored in the CL knockout stages.

But yeah, he only scores in meaningless group games...

Dirty Dingus McGee

Once again Dunphy laments the state of the game and says its terrible.

He does this every single year after the Champions League final.

How the hell is the game in existence still is my big questions seeing as it seems to be on it's last legs every year.

Poor game, rubbish final. Penalties were probably the best part.

Barca v Madrid or barca v munich would probably have been so much better. Fair play to zidane, he's turned madrid right around with subtle tweaks.

Flint Fredstone

Pepe with the selfie stick just to endear himself that bit more to everyone.

Marcelo too had a good game and hit a cracker of a pen.

It's no exaggeration to say I do not remember a less deserving champion team of Europe. Some might say Chelsea 2012 but they did have to get past Pep's Barça and a formidable Bayern Munich. This Real Madrid side had the easiest bunch of 2 legged ties in can remember and won it on penalties. They have the trophy but the best team in Europe they most certainly are not.

You seem to be under the impression that the best side in Europe always wins the European Cup.

A selfie tick. Oh wow that's bad. He's no Tyler Breeze

They finished one point off the top.

Gutted for Griezman. How different it could be if he had scored that peno

And with that, Owen Hargreaves is disassembled, his motherboard removed, and he is put into storage at BT Sports studios for the summer.

Ronaldo was playing the percentages, holding out for what he thought had the best chance of being the winning penalty. Remember he was heavily criticised for not taking one against Spain in the last Euros.

Why do goalkeepers usually go last? Your best penalty takers go first, that IS logic.

There was some absolute mongozoids in the crowd behind Real as they were getting ready to lift the trophy.

Yea really went missing against Sweden there lately when he dragged his team to the euros with a hat trick. I also saw him missing the night he banged in the winner against Barcelona in the copa del rey when they won 1-0

Not to.mention the hat trick against Wolfsberg.

People always criticise him but his stats paint a very different picture than the lazy statements that try to denigrate the man

Maybe he was one of the best five, players miss penalties. Look at the Barcelona record this season
