Champions League Final | Pre-Match Thread

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!

lovely post. I still miss my Dad terribly.

It won’t be played in turkey covid is rife over there

Hello again. I think it will. Cases are down to 25K per day last four or five days and lockdown is on until 17/5 to get it down further. Tourism minister seems pretty confident it will go ahead with fans as do UEFA. Expect them to be on the amber list when it’s announced next day or so.
Might be no alcohol mind :-)

Is this confirmed mate?
Really hope so - my Mum is not feeling too good at the moment but would love to be able to watch this - as of course would so many others.

Thank fuck for that. Thought it was just me. My typical Blue has kicked in already.....I'm thinking of ways we can fuck it up, or how a ref can ruin the game for us, or if it's Chelsea they'll just do a Porto and bore their way to the win.....I fucking hate being an old Blue ....

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

Brilliant
