    I absolutely despise Madrid so much. They give me PTSD from the 90s.

    They are Huns with world class quality players, nothing more.

    Can't remember Madrid being so ineffective, not been in this game.

    Dortmund doing a right good job in them

    That’s Madrid.

    They’ll win 1 nil.

    Would you ever support the huns? There's your answer :giggle1:

    I find it a terrible choice of a sponsor and think they should bin the deal but it's not a worse deal than dozen of clubs have with Qatar and the Saudis. These * do structural human rights abuses and also war crimes in Yemen.

    Real also have Emirates as sponsor. Human rights abusers and islamic terror financers, at least as bad as Rheinmetall.

    You see, football is full of scum. You can't really support anyone, can you? :(

    Dortmund easily the better team. I feel they'll end up regretting passing up on their chances.

    * hate it whenever a defender feels someone go into the back of them, they go down.

    Vinicius is a class player but should be off after that dive.

    Aye Madrid will win. Dortmund will batter them all game but Madrid will score in the 90th. It's just what they do.

    Always a * of a referee who wants to make the game about themselves

    I don't know how Madrid do it. The last few seasons they've been convincingly outplayed in games, ride their luck, but then grind out a win.

    I don't know how they do it.

    * detest Real. Absolute entitled, cheating, whingeing luck merchants. They'll no doubt improve 2nd half. Borussia really should be 1 or 2 up. Can't miss those in CL finals.

    Anyone know what the pitch invaders was about ? I suspect anti fossil fuels or Palestinian protesters
