Didn't even know the finals were tonight, hopefully the match is a bit exciting. Found the matches until now really boring to be honest. But since the season is over I'll take any kind of footy I get.
Would be great if UEFA just made it a 32 team tourney with all the games two legged knock out ties. It would make every game high stakes and essential viewing. The early group stages are mind numbing until the knock out games get started.
Yeah the pre knockout stage seems to just go on for an eternity.
Dnipro ahead already! Looks like we'll be getting an exciting game after all.

Shame that Chiellini has been ruled out of the finals. Suarez vs him would've been a fun battle to look out for. Barca are already the stronger team on paper and this is just another advantage to them.

That was a hugely entertaining game of football. Barça's second goal certainly came against the run of play and Juve deserved something out of the game. I was praying for an equaliser just so the game could carry on!
Was it just me who thought Barca played this game in 2nd gear? They looked to have the game under control at all times and it was only when Juve scored they upped their game a bit. I did want Juve to win mainly because of Evra, Buffon and Pirlo, the latter 2 deserve to have a CL medal. When you have a front 3 of Messi, Suarez and Neymar who can turn the game whenever they feel like it, they will take some beating! Awesome side.
Fair result, this Barça team are on another level and are deserved champions. Watching Pirlo in tears at the end really made me sad but felt even more sorry for Buffon, he really kept them in it at times during that game. Also, Evra must hate the sight of Barcelona by now, what was this, his 4th Champions League final loss against them? That's tough. But watching Xavi and Pirlo share a laugh at the end was really nice. Two absolute geniuses. And what a way for Xavi to bow out, by winning the La Liga, Copa Del Rey and the Champions League. Now that's what you call a send off!
