Champions League Final | Pre-Match Thread

I'm sure Pep will bamboozle everyone with his team selection and game plan. Just hopefully not our own players...

You think it will really make any difference? Winning the CL is the dream of every player. There’s no higher motivation than that. It’s already maxed out.

The only new motivation is actually in our favour. That’s Dias lifting it in his home country.

Bernardo and Cancelo would of course be more than happy to do that too, but you can’t help but feel Dias oozes the leadership and determination that enriches the rest of the team.

Regardless, as you say, both teams will be maxed out for it as it is. Chelsea missing top four or not doesn’t come into it.

I'm a bit worried about their first 11 bedwetters, they seem pretty good.Our squad may be stronger.

Going to have to up our game to compete.

Who would you select in our fanny wipe first team ? :-)

Can you play counter attacking football against a team that is also set on playing counter attacking football?

90 minutes and the ball hasn't moved off the centre spot as both teams wait for the other to attack.

We're not going to go there and all of a sudden be happy with 38% possession.

Leicester and Arsenal have shown the blueprints on how to beat this chelsea team. Just sit back win the midfield and counter attack. Especially balls over the top, Chelsea looks vulnerable to balls over the top. They are not that good they played the worst Madrid side iv seen in years in la liga Benzema has carried them this season.

Mahrez , Foden , KDB counter attack will do damage

Basically the same as PSG then!

Could Tuchel face the chop if they lose the fa cup, UCL and dont make top 4?

Think he'll survive those outcomes but if they don't start well could be out by October.

No. When he was hired they were really in no position to win anything or even challenge for the top 4.
