GWT: Champions League Final: Real Madrid/Juventus

[SB164]

Ramos gonna Ramos folks

 

[Scandale du Jour]

3 CLs in 4 years, 2 in a row. Zidane with 2 CLs and 1 La Liga title in 18 months on the job.

 

[Halladay]

Madrid's first European Cup (Champions League)/La Liga double in 59 years.

Marcelo's been amazing this game

I'm leaning towards him for MOTM.

 

[Power Man]

Lucky ZZ wins back to back CL's

On the full view, I'm not sure Cuadrado even touches him. Of course that didn't decide the game though.

Zidane moving Modric to right midfield did that. Completely changed the game.

Ramos gonna Ramos folks

Don't be salty, he just drew the refs attention

Not his fault if Juan is stupid

But he is soooooooooo lucky.......

But he is soooooooooo lucky.......

This game wasn't luck. This was one very good tactical change that both completely stopped Juve's attack and helped RM's attack a great deal.

Yeah, refs giving him La Liga isn't luck.

French fries with your salt, oui?

Really disappointment with Juve's effort today. Most of their top players didn't even show up.

More asbestos with your delusion?

They're not as good as everyone thinks they are. Result isn't remotely a surprise.

Jersey fouls flying left and right with all these family members.

They don't have the midfielder that RM has. Was really as simple as that. Pjanic had some good involvements early in the game with long shots, but otherwise they were nowhere near good enough in midfield. Modric ran circles around them.

He has the most incredibly arranged roster. Every piece is amongst the world's best at their position. From the world-class full-backs to the perfectly weighted midfield trio, to Ronaldo - you have players like James, Isco, Benzema and even occasionally Bale as afterthoughts. Then there's Asensio... Unbelievably skilled team. No wonder they play the way they do, they don't need many opportunities to score, and they give possession up (sometimes) and still don't face many shots or chances against. They're incredibly fit too, rarely slowing down in the closing stages. Contrast with Juve today, for instance.

I dunno which Clasico dynasty I'd rate higher. I spent the late 2000s absolutely hating Barcelona and Spain's dominance but in hindsight I wish I enjoyed it more, like I'm enjoying Madrid's dominance.

Ronaldo with another (!) Ballon D'or on the way. Undisputed best player in the game and making his case to be the greatest ever.

wait I thought Zidane didn't do tactics

Too much Sodium imo

That's what Duchesne says

Thought so too. Guess I was wrong.

Wasn't even the best player in this game.

As for Juve today - I think Khedira and Dybala were poor. Buffon too. None of the subs did anything at all either.

Higuain wasn't that bad, Mandzukic was great, the defenders all fine. It was the midfield that let them down in the second half and then they capitulated. They're not as good as we hoped they'd be.
