Seeing as the CL final is being held in my city (i drive on the street of the stadium to work every day), I'm hoping it's the two biggest teams left in it to reach the final. Normally I'd probably want Monaco and Atletico in the final but this time I'm hoping it's the big two.
Can't wait for the CL final now, 175,000 predicted in Cardiff city centre for the final, gonna be a massive party!
The stadium is in the city centre and next door to the bars and pubs (& unfortunately clubs) so granted prices for a pint are gonna be high but i think as a one off it'll be worth it for a weekend to have a chat with others from the continent. Cardiff is starting to get ready for the final already, which is already getting me excited, booked the Friday off for it (I know it's on Sat), it's gonna be a long and entertaining weekend!
Who is everyone hoping reaches the final? Goal fest final says Monaco Real, but for me i want to see Juventus win it. I get the feeling a few of us would want Juve to win it too?
Juventus V Real Madrid please

I'm going to it and don't really care who's in the final. Just looking forward to the occasion and catching up with mates down there as I lived just outside Cardiff for quite a few years. 👍

If Real manage to make it 3 CL triumphs in the space of just 4 years, it would really sum up the state of the modern game.
There simply aren't any truly great teams at the moment nor are they many genuinely world class players.
Real have a medicore defence both individually and collectively, an average midfield and are essentially a one-man attack and that one man is clearly on the decline.
Literally, how many of Real's current XI would've got in our 08/09 starting XI? (and even then, that side wasn't even that good compared to the old Milan, Bayern, Barca sides)
Kroos or Modric possible and that's it to be honest. Bale right now is not as good as Rooney/Tevez were IMO and the rest of Real are 7/10 players.

For the best game possible we need Monaco in the final.
Mbappe is the most exciting young player I think I have ever seen at the stage he is at and I hope they win it.

You say average midfield then say you'll take their midfielders
