    Better decisions going forward and Juve could have scored more. Numerous counters in the last 20 mins.

    Juve are unbelievable defensively, have their shape down to perfection. Still think Barca will be just too good for them if Messi, Suarez and Neymar are fit.

    Always love seeing Ronaldo beaten. A penalty and a tap in, and another 178 minutes of anonymity over the two legs. A shadow of the player he once was.

    Carlo Ancelotti is arguably the best manager in the world given his track record. He'll be sacked in the morning though.

    Very sad to be honest.

    His track record isn't that great. Only 3 league titles wins (with 1 of them a given at PSG).

    Thought Juve deserved it over both legs. Final should be superb.

    Chiellini better wear shoulder pads for the final. He'll no doubt be marking that * Suarez again.

    Hope Lichsteiner gets a horrific injury in a domestic match and misses the final.

    Still want Juve to win though; Wouldn't seem right if Buffon and Chiellini both ended their careers without winning the Champions League.

    Always good to see other teams reach the final

    Final should be decent, Juve are no mugs but that front 3 is pretty frightening

    Real Madrid, Chelsea, PSG.

    Are you forgetting the dynasty he created at AC Milan? He has won 3 CL title - more than any other manager in football.

    He was successful for 1 season at Chelsea. He has 1 successful tournament (Copa Del Rey) at Real Madrid but lets face it they got extremely lucky in last seasons UCL.

    PSG was a bigger version of Celtic and the SPL.

    Bob Paisley won 3 European Cups did he not?

    It's worth pointing out he's won 3 League titles in 16 years managing Juve, AC, Chelsea, PSG and Real. That is shockingly low.

    Undoubtedly a great manager just not the best.

    Football in general this season has been * than any in recent memory there hasnt been any excitement for a while, last season Atletico doing so well and Liverpool running it so close made for some viewing.

    Guidetti last minute v inter, O'Shea v germany and Psg knocking out chelsea only stand outs.

    Barca will horse Juve in the final I think.

    Real Madrid dont keep the ball and move it around well enough or dominate possession enough and pin a team back because they've not got the playmaker style players in their team except Isco.

    Barca will pin Juve in and Alba, Alves, Iniesta, possibly Xavi, Messi, Neymar and Suarez will put them under severe pressure and run rings round them.

    Real played into their hands by shooting from distance and crossing balls into the box all the time rather than patiently building up pressure by moving the ball around them.

    That guy has some serious trolling skills. Scroll down and see how we get a wee mention on his account.
