Is it me or is playacting like that especially in big finals making it hard to watch football :(? And I love the game . It's embarrassing these are supposed to be grown men

Ramos is the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen on the pitch when it comes to this. I have no love lost for an ex-chelski player in Cuadrado, but at 3-1 up Ramos sold that tiny stamp and push to get a move on like a true coward. I don't care about how good he can be technically, he clearly has no backbone.

I really enjoyed the game. think the first half was one of the best 45minutes of football I have seen.

2 very good and competitive teams.

but i must really give credit to Zidane and what he did at HT. he sent the same team out, we all had the impression that nothing much was done at HT.... but in the 2nd Half. Madrid played more of a traditional 4-4-2. trying to add width with Modric playing on the right and Isco on the left supporting the wingers... and it worked.

even thou the 2nd goal was a deflection, it came from Madrid going out wide and drawing defenders wide, giving more space in the middle of the park.

made the difference in the game. Even thou the first 2 Madrid goals were deflections, and Ramos punked Cuadrado, i think over all Madrid were the better team.

But that's a debate for another thread.....

Totally agree. Really childish thing to do and the one tarnish on the game. Hopefully he'll realise it was stupid.

I thought that game was very good, but not to the level that some people are saying. Too many unforced errors; not a lot of real startling edge of the seat creativity. Some very good goals, granted. Pacy, lots of intelligent probing and countering. I thought it was on a level with a very very good premier League game, say between us and Chelsea, with both teams playing at their peak.

I can understand being a gritty CB, it's part of what makes him one of the best CB's in the world, but to do something so childish when the game is pretty much secured just shows he has a lack of maturity. Technical ability aside, I would be very disappointed if Toby or Verts did something like that for us.

That was the only blemish on quite an astonishing game of football from both teams.
