Monaco just didn't turn up tonight. Shame really, worked so hard to get to the semi final and basically all 11 players have an off day. Monaco should have scored two maybe early on, but fell to a great first goal.

 

Juve were brilliant once they were in the lead, but were initially dodgy at the back. They are nothing special with no great players, they all just work hard and do what they can do. Very, very well organised, which obviously is key.

 

Hope they go on to win it, the big danger is that CR is a big stage player, Real must be favourites, although with the final in Cardiff, not a very glamorous or inspiring venue, Juve may come through. Hope so for my mate at Timo's. 

Higuain, Dybala, Buffon, Chiellini, Bonucci, Alves aren't great players? Okay.

 

Monaco has been tactically outsmarted twice. It's not that they didn't turn up or that the players had an off day, they just couldn't. Add to that the experience and you'll understand that Juventus was Monaco's worst possible draw. They had no chance in hell to go through.

Six browsing this thread, six browsing the CL thread under General Football and Sport ...

 

Appears Simone set them up to defend deeper and counter as soon as Griezmann bagged the pen.  The smart call, at least until late.

So now the boot is on the other foot and Atletico are in exactly the same position as we were against them, having to score three goals without reply in 45 minutes. Wonder if they'll go hell for leather and 'long ball' like we did...

Btw, a little story from snowy Russia (yes we still have patches of snow here and there).

 

My wife had been to another city for a couple of weeks and she wanted to buy me something as a souvenir.
She went to a shop (not sport-related) and looked around, and saw a little pile of cup mats with logo of football clubs.
She said there was about 6-7 of them only, and of course these were for most popular clubs like:

Barcelona, Real, Bayern, Juventus, Atletico Madrid.


And the last one was this:

Here in Russia, in a non-sport-related shop. Not ManUtd, not PSG, not Chelsea or Arsenal, not Inter or Milan. Leicester City!

We are BIG, guys!

Looking forward to this tonight, really hope Juventus beat Madrid!

 

Be great to see Dani Alves get a goal or even an assist. Also be great to see Buffon lift the trophy.
