Spanish TV showing the teams buses arriving at the ground. The Atletico players in full song it seems.

champions league should be on wednesday

Real should win. But it'd be sooo sweet to watch Ronaldo sulking if they lost. Smug caant. Pepe and Ramos lifting any trophy is also sickening!

Simeone and Mono Burgos wouldn't have looked out of place as the Mexican cartel guys in Breaking Bad.

I'll miss Pepe if he's not playing,you can't beat a good punch up and a rugby maul !

I remember sneaking out on a school night for the Zidane goal. Totally worth it.

Interesting that Ancelotti would be only the second manager to win 3 European Cups. Find it hard to believe that only Bob Paisley has managed it, to this day...

Casillas has played 7 major tournament finals in his career (not counting 'Supercups' here) and kept 6 clean sheets. Only ones he's ever conceded were against Boca in the 2000 Intercontinental Cup.

He is also undefeated in his 26 previous derby matches against Atletico.

So Liverpool fans want Atletico to win? Especially as Alonso got himself suspended

In turn, Simeone would only be the 3rd South American manager to win it, and the first since Helenio Herrera half a century ago.

Love the stats! Such a brilliant competition to win!

really?

The best attacking record in #UCL (37 goals by Madrid in 12 matches) will go up against the meanest defence (six goals conceded by Atlético)

Yep, Diego Lopez was in goal for this year's and last year's defeats, while Casillas kept 2 clean sheets in the cup.

that's an amazing stat, always loved Iker

From the BBC:

Ryan Bertrand, Sulley Muntari, Wes Brown and Djimi Traore have all won the Champions League since a man in a Real Madrid shirt lifted the trophy. All good pros - but the best in Europe?

Who is the worst player you've ever seen win a major honour? A passenger in a gifted side.
========================================

Our they suggesting Wes Brown is one of the worst players to win the CL?
He was having the best season he has ever had at United playing at RB.Hell,he even set up Ronaldo's goal.
(Ryan Bertrand, Sulley Muntari aren't exactly poor players either)

BBC must try harder.

Shi.t BBC:

Ryan Bertrand, Sulley Muntari, Wes Brown and Djimi Traore have all won the Champions League since a man in a Real Madrid shirt lifted the trophy. All good pros - but the best in Europe?

How the feck can they lump Wes Brown with those carthorses?

Atletico to win with both teams scoring 9/1

WGJA

Great minds think alike

At.Madrid XI v R.Madrid: Courtois; Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Filipe Luis; Tiago, Gabi, Koke, Raul Garcia; Villa, Costa.

Atletico bench without Turan: Aranzubia, Alderweireld, Mario Suárez, Cebolla Rodríguez, Sosa, Diego Ribas y Adrián

Costa starts

REAL MADRID TEAM: Casillas, Varane, Ramos, Coentrao, Khedira, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale, Carvajal, Modric, Di María

Khedira he must be so unfit

Khedira and Costa. Wow, didn't even remotely expect either of those two to start.

Shame Turan couldn't make it.
