2023-24 UEFA Champions League

McDermotX

Klopp looking very happy at Wembley.

NITRO95

Carlo with one sentimental pick starting Nacho at CB ahead of Militao in his last game for the club. Courtois starting is harsh on Lunin but probably the right call. Lunin will do well wherever he moves to in the summer

Patrick Mahomes

Shay Given must have some agent to get him all these TV gigs the guy is terrible as a pundit. Sadlier is also such pain to listen too. But I guess the best that can be said about them is they don’t go for the click bait sound bites the pundits on the English channels go for.

Fcuk yeah Lenny Kravitz

~Rebel~

Lenny's lookin' well for 60.

This pre match entertainment is awful.

sligeach

Let's hope the game itself is better than the pre-match "entertainment". 🥱

~Rebel~

Attacking intent from Dortmund anyway, with 4 out and out attackers. Had thought they might drop Brandt for another CM. Ballsy move - Can will have a busy game covering the back 4.

ShamoBuc

That's a selfie moment - should not have been able to do that in fairness.

Took way too long to get rid of him.

Actually, it was 3 of them.

Augme

After the shambles they made of the Euros its amazing the England are trusted to host anything. Seems yet again they've decided not to bother hiring any security.

NITRO95

Once again the English embarrass themselves on a World stage with the worst security possible surrounding any kind of football final

MisterAnarchy

They really need to raise the camera position at Wembley, its far too low and makes the pitch look too narrow.

Generally dont like watching matches there as a result.

What happened? With the weak "entertainment" prior to the start of the match, I went and fixed something to eat.

They've the final of the next Euros also. UEFA have to take some blame too it's their competition. Look at the lunacy in Paris a few years ago.

Three pitch invaders inside the first minute. T

sligeach

Should have been a yellow card for Camavinga.

~Rebel~

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122211076#Comment_122211076

3 separate pitch invaders.

facehugger99

Ref bottled that.

Should have been a yellow.

y0ssar1an22

twas close by brandt, but would have been offside

crushproof

Every time Ryerson is mentioned.

y0ssar1an22

how did real win a free there? jude went flying in

Mushy

Bellingham slides in, doesn't get the ball, but gets the free....OK then ref

sligeach

Another bad challenge by Camavinga, hopefully the ref books him this time when there's a break in play.

~Rebel~

What a chance! Had to finish that.

y0ssar1an22

adeami, what a miss!!!!!!

HalloweenJack

Carvajal a really lucky boy there.

crushproof

Ah bloody hell what an opportunity, terrible.

sligeach

Shut up Ray. It's an awful touch by Adeyemi. He butchered a glorious chance when clean through and just the keeper to beat.

~Rebel~

And another… off the post… Dortmund will really regret not scoring these huge chances

<edit> prob a hair offside

Say Your Number

How the f*ck are Dortmund not ahead.

sligeach

Are we going to have another night of 9 lives for Real Madrid again tonight? Could be at least 2-0 down.

y0ssar1an22

another whopping miss by BVB. wanna see a replay of that pen shout also

~Rebel~

Huge loss if Can has to go off. Probably Özcan to replace him I guess if he can't play through it.

Hopefully he can run it off…

The Rooster

Fulkrug was defo offside for that second chance. So only 1 chance really missed.

facehugger99

Madrid always seem to get all the luck.

Xander10

second big final at Wembley and crowd control an issue.

the final in Dublin 2 weeks ago was exemplary

McDermotX

Think Dortmund might need the ball put into the net for them

~Rebel~

ANOTHER huge chance on the break… Adeyemi has so much space behind. They need to score soon though, this won't keep happening.

sligeach

Another poor touch by Adeyemi which put himself a little wide of goal with that chance. Another great chance goes a begging.

Perez has sold his soul to the devil.

They should be 3 down

The Rooster

That’s 2 now!

Need that lazy fooker Sancho to get on the end of one of them. Whatever about anything else, he’s usually a decent finisher.

y0ssar1an22

prob should be another there by BVB, good save courtis

Xander10

Ref letting every go

~Rebel~

Big shout for a pen there.

McDermotX

Little nudge is a FK anywhere else on the pitch

sligeach

IDK, that could have been a penalty to Dortmund. Probably a free anywhere else on the pitch.

allinthehead

Good game, Dortmund well on top.

MisterAnarchy

Blatant penalty that.

Real look like old men compared to Dortmund.

y0ssar1an22

ref very miserly with the yellow's. valverde that time

McDermotX

No FK there unless you count the one on Sancho

Ref takes the 'safe' option, so to speak
