    He's been an antagonist for quite a while, with opposition fans and players..

    An absolute wee * of a boy..

    Surprised the lack of bookings he gets for deliberately trying to antagonise fans. It’s literally every game I watch them.

    Then again, guess the colour of his shirt gives him a bye

    Anyone else not seeing the double touch in those Alvarez replays? Certainly not the ones they showed.

    There was even one point where an Atletico player was basically saying drop it out a bit ay..

    He's an * wipe. You can imagine he probably rubs up his own teammates and Ancelotti the wrong way but a great player when he wants to be..

    In fairness he gets racially abused regularly.
    Glad real got through, would pick them any day over atletico, their fans were cheeky * in Madrid last year.

    Wasn’t totally obvious but you can see the ball changing flight ever so slightly. It was the right decision.

    That was so harsh on Alvarez. Tbh that should be a retake, the guy slips.

    As for the last pk, an * goalie who dives saves that, terrible keeping.

    Fair but he deffo is a wee price still..

    Aye thats a * rule..

    He slips, a total accident that he knew nothing about and still scored. Seems unbelievably harsh to give that as a miss, particularly when the stakes were that high..

    They should deffo be looking to change that to a retake in future when it's clearly a slip..

    I think the Vinicius thing is a tough one. He does antagonise, but he seems to do so as a “get it up ye” to the racists who do abuse him. Atletico fans have previous for that.

    That doesn’t help him in the slightest, but I get him feeling hurt and bitter.

    It’s all the other antics I’ve got no time for.

    I wouldn't usually want Madrid to win but can't stand that * Simeone, so good to see him out in such circumstances. Hopefully Barca, Bayern or Dortmund win it overall.

    It is shocking how bad Real Madrid actually play but are successful at it, they've won probably like 5 of the last 10 Champions Leagues yet I can hardly remember them playing well in a tie or even a final.

    Ugh annoyingly I'm going to want Madrid to beat Arsenal. I used to like Arsenal but this iteration of them under Arteta is so unlikable
