Whoop chelski
Then we play 3 teams who won’t get relegated or Europe

Get Aquero his goals required to overtake Rooney

Tried commentary on CBS tonight, it's obviously a Sky/BT directive on British tv, Drury & Beglin were very good, Micah and a very quiet spit in the studio with Alex Scott going overboard about us on the touchline.

Drury used the line ...25 nights until a Bluemoon over Istanbul which I thought was brilliant.

Yeah, it's so hard to gauge at the moment. It means so much to a good number of people.

Quite a lot seem to want to watch it in town, but I guess we're just waiting for clarity. I really can't see Turkey being on the green list so that may deter a few.

Probably not green (at least not initially) but definitely not red. 5 days isolation seems a price I’d be prepared to pay!

Having watched the Blues since my very first game in 1964/65 when we drew 0-0 with Norwich at home, I never ever thought that I would ever see my lads reach this pinnacle.
That win in 1967/68 at Newcastle was the greatest I have ever witnessed and followed by a 1-0 at Wembley with Nellies wonderful goal started a period of time when we really were the Bees Knees
Fast forward to 2011/12 and I never thought for one moment that this would ever be beaten.
Tonight at my local pub with my son and a couple of wonderful great Blue mates we really have surpassed my wildest dreams.
At full time my son and mates gave me a wonderful "City Hug" which started with a lump in my throat until I could not control my emotions and a more than few tears started to dribble down my cheeks.
Not in my wildest dreams could I ever imagine that my beloved Blues would ever be seen in a Champions League Final, maybe not until after my final days on this earth !!!
City, Owners,The Board, Pep, Players, Fans and all connected with my wonderful Club my sincere thanks so far.
Can/Will we fin the Final ?
Who knows but by fuck City you have made my dream so much a more reality than I could ever dream.
Finally please make an old man happy and complete my final dream ... Champions League Winners 2021.
Cheers,
Oakie

I’m absolutely over the moon at that result tonight but I’m absolutely gutted I can’t call my Dad to talk about it and I’m sure there are loads of blues feeling very similar today for friends and family no longer with us.

Win or lose in Istanbul, we’ve made history today and I feel for every Blue that stuck with us through the shit but didn’t managed to see this day. Those of us that have seen it are so very fortunate. Little Citeh in the CL Final, well fuck me.

Anyway, here’s to the Blues that weren’t blessed to see this day!

I waas just thinking, the way we defended tonight would have been pure ecstasy for @Neville Kneville had he had the chance to see it.

Should have been a thread on its own, this post.

How tickets will we get and what points will be needed to get them? Anyone want to have a guess?
I’m going for 10,000 tickets and 15,000 points.

Can’t see us getting more than 5000 and after players , sponsors etc looking at 3000/4000 Max for fans

Turkey in lockdown right now, can’t see any fans being allowed straight after it opens up? A move to wembley should be considered by UEFA and perhaps a full scale trial ahead of Euros??
