GWT: Champions League Final: Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid

[Halladay]

Clattenburg did a good job.

The haters will be out in full force against Real.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

As bad as he was for Chelsea, I feel for El Niño.

 

[Ceremony]

Whatever, very happy with the result.

Horrible advertisement for La Liga. Poor Final where Atleti and more so the ref gave it to Madrid. Hilarious lack of commentary on the ref amongst other things.

The hate is strong against RM. Yet there they are holding the Champion's League trophy once again.

I wonder if Pep will ever make another final.

Are you high? What a laughable post.

Worst site to win the Champions League I've seen so far. And sorry, Club Atlético de Madrid, but if you can't beat THAT Real ... you're never going to win the CL.

And Zidane – has any coach ever won the CL while being less deserving? :laugh:

Roberto di Matteo?

 

[hatterson]

Yea I'm not sure what you'd really have against Clattenburg.

Took the tone of the match really well early. Could have handed out several yellows in the first half, but in the end did what was needed to calm the game down.

I'd love to have seen a yellow for Pepe being a joke, but that card is never going to be given in a tight final by any ref, so I can hardly fault him.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Not an inspiring performance from either team. Atletico were on cruise mode in the 1st half, and Zidane was lucky the substitutions didn't cost him this game in the 2nd and ET. Danilo was getting skinned and Ronaldo didn't seem quite match fit for this one. Real fans will gladly take this though, it's been an up and down year.

On to the Euros.

Les Habs complaining about the refs, what a surprise!

You won via an offside goal and according to some of your supporters on this very site Ramos should have been sent off. So yeah, it's no surprise.

 

[Big Drive]

LOL, why is arbeloa wearing a union jack shirt?

 

[Savi]

**** Real. Simeone and Co are destined to be the eternal bridesmaid. Beat the two best teams in the tournament then lose to this crap.

Pretty much this

For me, this feels exactly like the Valencia/Bayern final where Bayern won after PK's. Jus terrible

 

[Jeffrey]

I just watched extra time but the quality was so poor. I couldn't believe that these 2 teams made it to the final.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

I need to see last year's thread where Real fans were behaving the way Barça fans are today.

I surely dropped a "**** Barca" in there, it is normal to be mad when your blood rival wins. I can't fault Barca fans for being disappointed.

Clattenburg got the Ramos call 100% right and offsides happen. It sucks, but it's not like it was a horrendous call, it's a tough one to make on a deflection like that.

Ultimately Atletico scored a single goal against a poor Real side that had multiple players cramping up by the end...that's not on the ref.

The offside was incredibly tight in real time, it's easy to look at screenshots and say "clear offside" but it was a tough call for any linesman. The Ramos booking was said by many here (including myself) to be worthy of red, but again that was an up-in-the-air one. Definitely coulda gone both ways.

He was slightly offside but the linesman doesn't have the benefit of video replay like we do, especially given how quickly the play transpired.

 

[les Habs]

I'm not disappointed. I simply pointed out facts putting the result into context. Like I said before the match, I expected Madrid to win (without the refs). On top of that we just won a Double on top of a Treble and did so with an amazing season.

 

[les Habs]

Forgiving the linesman is one thing, but that doesn't change the fact that he was offside and the goal shouldn't have stood and therefore Madrid don't win.

 

[Hadoop]

Gutted to see Atletico come up short, but in PKs the 'looser' team usually wins and Real looked like they were less overwhelmed by the moment.
