Mr.Nice Guy

Chiellini, come on.

That's embarrassing from Chellini

Strumms

Chiellini great player but some wànker with the histrionics

Chiellini, that is ducking embarrassing. Glad Correa is the one who ****ed over his team though, he's another clown.

Excellent tie overall

CL delivers yet another cracker

Mr.Nice Guy

Full-Time. Fantastic performance from Juventus. Ronaldo - well you can probably count on one hand the players in history that could have done what he's done tonight. Perhaps the greatest 'big moment' player of all time.

I think they're the team to beat in this competition.

Fair play to Juve, thoroughly deserved on todays performance. Atleti just didn't bring anything.

Justice, right result.

Ronaldo the greatest European Cup force we’ll ever see.

Athletico bottled it. Sorry if i offend:p

History has a habit of repeating itself

He has serious big stones, great attitude and raw talent.

LOL at Ronnies piss take celebration of Simeone.

Liam O

Decent game from the Portuguese Gerd Muller but you really want more from him in general play.

Exactly does Messi play as well with Argentina?

Ronaldo can drag a team along with him no matter what thier level.

Ref went to Var, said no foul.

Great game. Atletico had no answers and no plan B. Rare to see them outclassed like that.

Puts the work in no doubt. Pity about all the shaping he goes on with at times though.

I know Ronaldo will probably get MOTM for his hat trick, but i have to say Bernadeschi has been absolutely superb tonight.

Some stones to drop Dybala, but Max made the right decision. Bernadeschi is really turning into a top player after a mediocre first season.

Vincent Vega

Admittedly I'd be one of the first in line to ridicule or rain hate on the man if and when I can, but absolutely no arguing with this performance.
Out of this world by Ronaldo.
Well deserved win.

Did he? He gave a hop ball alright...how the fluck he gave a hop ball I don't know...but how does VAR not see chiellini wiping correra out? It's a blantant penalty. I watched it on bt3 and nothing was said about it .

.G.

The Juve Keeper would be the worry for them, they couldn't win it with Buffon and he's not in that league. Had nothing to do tonight mind.

Where is the greatest player in the world to take control of the game when his team is in need? That's right, jumping out of the way the ball. Totally anonymous once again against a well drilled Atletico team

Thought it was a blatant foul, maybe a harsh penalty as neither were getting near the ball but he definitely took him out.

Mr.Nice Guy

Ronaldo mocking Simeone DX-style.

Like Ronaldo, TGM always delivers!

He really can't help himself!

EVERY TIME!

In fairness to TGM, he saw an opportunity once AIG departed and he's really stepped up.

Blatant foul and penalty , not that atletico deserved anything from the game. But no mention of it on commentary, just the fact that chiellini was playacting. What's the point in having VAR if they look at stuff like that, ignore it and the ref awards a drop ball?!

TheRiverman

Ronaldo knows how to take the perfect penalty,no shaping or silliness,just runs up and hits it with power and accuracy.

You seem aggrieved over it. Pundits never mentioned it. Refs didn't think it was or VAR officials. And I'd imagine most watching the game didn't think it was a peno either.

~Rebel~

Ronaldo in the very unique position of being able to win 4 champions leagues in a row, across 2 different clubs.

Could also be the first person to match Seedorf's 3 CL wins with different teams.

Greizeman was extremely disappointing tonight

And Morata is just awful

Although it is clear he doesn't reach the heights of Barca for Argentina, Messi has dragged that Argentina team through qualifying before many a tournament in fairness.

You definitely wouldnt be first

Rayne Wooney

There were people in the la liga thread saying Madrid would be a better team without Ronaldo.

Lol

Kevin Finnerty

What was it? 595 goals in 700 odd games for Ronaldo.
That's insane

Not aggrieved. Just can't understand why a blatant penalty wasnt given and no mention of it. Doesn't matter a jot to me mate. Carry on as you were.

It's hardly questionable at best it surely would have been discussed if it was.

It was never ever near being a blatant penalty from my perspective.

What a disappointment. Honestly,where was the dropping deep and tiki taka with his team mates, where was the control and tempo setting. I mean honestly bar a hat trick against one of the best defences out there, what has he done anything to influence that game?

Griezmann was poor but he looked isolated by virtue of the job the Juve defense did on him and his colleagues they bossed the midfield... Morata looked like a drunk on Westmorland St on a Friday night wandering up and down looking for his bus stop.

Yeah fair point on Greizmann. He was marked out of it at times too

Anyone that says that just proves they haven't a clue about soccer and are too blinkered to give CR7 the credit he deserves.
Messi is the more talented footballer but Ronaldo's sheer drive, determination and ambition is incredible in this day and age of footballers.
You look at players like Pogba and Neymar and you wonder if they applied themselves half as much as Ronaldo does what they could achieve.

fyfe79

It can't be denied that a game with Ronaldo in it is more likely to be exciting as a result of his performance. Obviously he's a diva but at the same time his professionalism and drive can't be questioned.

Like many have said, him and Messi are very different kinds of footballers, but both excellent. Why try and pick sides (seriously, what's to be gained?) when you can enjoy both?

Strumms

I’m with you ^ it’s a privilege to be watching and enjoying our sport in this era when probably two of the top five players EVER in our game are playing... two players who while renowned for their competitiveness, talent and will to succeed are two pure entertainers who can do things over 90 minutes that other attacking pros would end up on their arses trying. Two of the best 5 players EVER to play this sport.

I’ve been thinking a bit about this recently and we are spoiled. Also next season my goal is to get to see Messi live in person play at the Nou Camp. I saw Ronaldo when with United a couple of times but I gotta see Messi before as eventually happens, the light fades...
