Ronaldo will get all the headlines but have to say Marcello's been absolutely brilliant (a player I usually can't stand)

not really. and i say this as a bayern fan vidal should have been booted much earlier, for cause. as it happened he dodged the bullet in a huge way then ancelotti kept him, knowing full well the danger he represented, but knowing also he was the best chance for bayern to score a 3rd. it was a risky gamble. after he went out based on his reputation alone, it was a foregone conclusion. then later you could have said offside, or casemiro, or whatever. the fact is the refs do tend to favor home teams. see: last week's nonexistent penalty that he missed. that's when bayern should have forged clear ahead but didn't. shit happens. and respect to madrid. do i hate ronaldo? fuck yes. ramos? for sure. spaniards? a few. but madrid were better overall. and yes it was a tough fucking match worthy of a final. it's sad but one had to go. rest in pieces, bayern's CL campaign. see you next year. -- ETA: references: https://www.theguardian.com/football...eam-sean-ingle |

I switched back and forth between both games. Leicester didn't embarrass themselves in either game and the tie overall could've easily gone their way.
Anyway, who's watching what tonight? Barca v Juventus just looks too good to miss. |

How can anyone hate Ramos?
I only saw the second half but it was a good game. Bad decisions galore from the refs but Marcello's performance was something else. The burst he did past three players to set up Ronaldo for a hat trick was just *heart swell* And how can it be anything else but Barcelona tonight? Well except for Symbols seems like pretty much everyone else agrees

I imagine Symbols in 1977, the week Star Wars opened, convincing his parents to take him to see the new Herbie film.

He's probably the only thing about Real that I really like ... well apart from Bale, Modric, Rodriguez, Ronaldo, their strip, the fact they just knocked Bayern out, Ramos's girlfriend, their stadium, their manager, their standing up to Mourinho, the way they're somehow able to make arrogance look cool, while Bayern and Man U just make it look, well, arrogant. |

yeah madrid is really a great team. the best of recent years. i have great admiration for those motherfuckers. and i wish they'd disappear ha ha ha.
ramos is the cronaldo of defense. really fucking good, a bit of a dick, and plays for the enemy. i love it when he fails. which admittedly happens only rarely-- but the satisfaction when it happens! yeah. great player. damn. |

Interesting piece about Ronaldo and the entitled and ridiculous Madrid fans whistling him last night.

no. not while he plays for real anyway you have to take my hate as a sign of respect/admiration though this is an epic motherfucker. one can't just dismiss him he's either superhero or supervillain depending on your side of the trenches and for me he's blowing little messi out of the water these days |

i've got the split screen on and im going bananas
dortmund is down by 1 early but they're attacking (and hence the danger) -- jeezus. monaco scores the 2nd such a beautiful goal, perfect passes, perfect header, really amazing team i'm starting to like them to win it all not just from this but also their previous encounters-- eg man city then again it's maybe just their adversaries allowing this kinda dance. but no-- real talent there -- from the visuals alone barca seems to be losing their shit -- démbélé in for durm a wasted substitution for what should have been a starting lineup -- and now fuckit: dortmund scored. i'm tuning full-time to the better game :P |

oh man man. germain comes in for mbappé, piszcek get his pass intercepted, a cross, blam, germain scores on his first touch.
i don't mind losing to a fun team like this. eh who am i kidding. i don't like it. but it's a consolation that it's been a good game. -- sokratis a hero. god damn. dortmund has not quit. |

Barcelona aren't clicking right now *as we've just seen) but blowing little messi out of the water? Look at the stats for this season. He's still outscoring and out-assisting Ronaldo. And bear in mind he plays far deeper than Ronaldo does now (who's pretty much a pure striker these days) and due to the way Barcelona play has to divide goals with Neymar and Suarez far more evenly than Ronaldo (as the focus of pretty much every attack that Real makes) has to. The previous couple of seasons Ronaldo has definitely had the edge but this season so far I'd say you're basing far too much on a very small amount of games. Messi: Apps: 45; Goals: 45 Ronaldo: Apps: 38; Goals: 31 We can argue about Ronaldo playing less games and I think he may well end up out-scoring Messi by the end of the season but let's stop this 'blowing little messi out the water' nonsense. The guy's got a season record so far of a goal per game, from an essentially midfield position. |
