Champions League Final | Pre-Match Thread

[Chris in London]

We got revenge against Spurs for 1981

Now it’s time for revenge against Chelsea for 1971

Remind me though, who did that mediocre madrid team beat to get there?

A very poor Liverpool side and Atalanta.

Chelsea fully deserve to be in the final...dealt with Real Madrid comfortably

They are the hardest of the two possibilities at the start of the night and they have the tactics and players to beat us...but so do we with them.

I think the game this weekend means nothing in terms of the final...both managers will be cagey about who they play and tactics

They are hugely dangerous on the break and Harvets, Kante and Mount will cause us huge problems. Defensively they are very very good as well.

It will be close and we will have to be at our very best to beat them....but again so will they.

Id rather it not be an English team we were playing as for me it lessens the game as an individual event

Chelsea will try and play us like united do, defend deep and counter. They’re in good form and if they score first we could be in trouble. Two things to consider, first we’ve lost both ties against English sides and second both Chelsea’s previous finals went to penalties. Could be a long nervous game.

Positivity is not your strong point I see, even though we’re the best team in the country.

Real Madrid looked sh*t, but Chelsea looked very good over both legs.(and in the PL)

They don't concede, and they do score.

It's going to be an absolute nerve shredder.

Sadly, going to be 1 goal in it either way.

It will be interesting to see how we line up on Saturday??

Chelsea dispose of Madrid. Thought Chelsea were average, Madrid were terrible.

Hard not to be confident going into this Final.

Real Madrid are old and slow.

Chelsea struggle to score goals but they will be difficult to beat

Not sure if Chelsea’s tougher fixtures actually helps keep them battle hardened whilst we might step off. I know Pep won’t allow us to relax but subconsciously it’s hard to stop.

Alternatively we could go in refreshed and relaxed and they could be burnt out with increased risk of injuries!

I’m going to stop. These next few weeks will be torture :)
