Well any Bale and Modric bonuses would be welcome I am sure... but I would prefer Real to win it as a) I like those players obviously, b) Simeone is cheating scumbag c) I secretly hope Bale will come back to Spurs after scoring the winner.

Tricky one actually. I find it hard to support Real Madrid because they are everything that is wrong with modern day football, but at the same time Simeone's Atletico team are apalling to watch...and basically like a Mourinho team on steroids.
So I'll probably just hope for Modric and Bale to do well.

Yeah I don't like Real at all, bur Simeone has somehow managed to make Atletico almost just as detestable and like you I simply support our ex-players.

I just like to see Gareth do well. I'm pretty much supporting Wales this summer.
Might even have a bet on it.

@Bus-Conductor I assume the WTF was because you hadn't heard about the injury scare? Here you go....

Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo limped off towards the end of a training session on Tuesday, prompting speculation about his fitness for Saturday's Champions League final.

Sorry Nailsy, was scrolling on my phone on the bog. I've been on opium laced painkillers and only been shitting about once every three days, takes monstrous effort to eke out a teeny angular nugget, so must have caused a careless SC scrolling misdemeanour. Have removed the erroneous rating. As you were.
For the record I hope the egocentric twit doesn't make the final as I find him extremely annoying, if he does I will definitely be rooting for Atletico because I just love their collective ethos (the antithesis of what Ronaldo is about) and their wonderful pantomime villain of a gaffer.
Although if I take any pleasure from Real winning it will largely be because the tickle I get watching the most outrageously talented left back the world has ever seen in Marcelo - that guy is so cool, I'm sure he does a bong before every game.

That Bong line wrecked me for the next few weeks
Personally love seeing Bale and Modric thrive in any game, and it's always a treat to watch that scummy Ramos doing his dirty deeds that we've grown to hate in modern football but secretly love so I will be supporting Real.

I genuinely think Marcelo is the most individually gifted player on that team, how the hell he ended up a left back is anyone's guess. I love that he is a LB, I just don't get how his coaches when he was a kid didn't decide to make him a Brazilian Messi type forward.

The Lad is absolute class I agree 100% with this. If he didn't play for such a plastic team he would garner a much larger fan base. And at 28 he's in his peak as a LB, we only have a few more seasons of his brilliance, and it will be a while before we see a player of his calibre in this position again bar Alaba. Will be perving over his stoner demeanor too, but I like the grit and grime Ramos brings to finals. God this is gonna be an epic Derby in Milan.

Jeez I must be in a minority wanting Atletico to win.
However I do love to see Bale and Modric do well.

No worries BC, I didn't think you were being funny.
Am I the only one who doesn't like Ramos? I think the guys a liability. You can't count on him completing ninety minutes without getting sent off.

I don't like him much either, I think he's liability half of the time, he was even worse as a RB in the early days.

YES. I fucking love Marcelo. The man just does not give even the single, tiniest shit (sorry to bring this up) about tactics, shape or any of that nonsense. Yes, he's theoretically a left back, but if the moment takes him and he decides to go for a wander into the hole behind the striker, he'll bloody well do it. And if he feels like trying a flip-flap past an attacker when he's the last man, he'll do that too. And the beauty of it is that he ALWAYS gets away with it, because he's such a good footballer.
