European Leagues.

Terrible idea. What right thinking manager would  go there. If he hits a bad run of form how do you drop him?

[Armagh18]

Crazy. Hope he never wins another thing

[Eire90]

new chamopions league format is a joke lets hope the gaa dont copy it

[Captain Obvious]

A first Serie A title for AC Milan for 11 years.

5 European Cups now for Bale. The man is unstoppable.

Real Madrid prove that they are a Champions League/European Cup Club. It's in their DNA to win it.

[Turf]

Real Madrid prove that they are a Champions League/European Cup Club. It's in their DNA to win it.

100%. These things matter. History matters. It doesn't matter if it's different players a different generation or whatever. Sometimes it's just in the DNA of a club. Liverpool have it themselves to be fair but Madrid have it also and it's just bigger with them.
Once they scored I knew they would hold on.

[Cunny Funt]

Expected Liverpool to win it was especially surprising they couldn't score while getting beat. The way Real Madrid reached this final maybe it was their destiny to win it? They deserve respect for winning it after beating (PSG 2020 finalists) (Chelsea 2021 winners) (Man City 2021 finalists) (Liverpool 2019 winners) that's as hard as any you'll see at this level.

One stand out stat

Since 2001 Spanish teams have played non Spanish 17 times in European finals (CL & EL) with Spanish sides winning all 17 finals

[ONeill]

Some stat alright.

[Milltown Row2]

Liverpool have given teams some start recently.. Mane is a massive loss, injuries don't help

[Milltown Row2]

Ventilators must be made in Ukraine...

Was going to say these lads will be time wasting whole second half..

They'll just hit the left side from now on

[Milltown Row2]

Maguire playing tonight! Christ!! Not good

[seafoid]

Milan and Barca a long way from glory days. Atletico would remind me of Mayo.

[clarshack]

While City have improved from last season the other English teams appear to have regressed.

[seafoid]

Shamrock Rovers would appear to be in the same boat as Rangers and Celtic. Inability to finish off chances at this level and bottom of the table as a result.
