I wonder if for whatever reason we'd kept Ronaldo these last 10 years what we'd have won.

Even after Fergie retired, he'd have probably won us a few titles on his own.

Ronaldo made a deal with the devil confirmed. He knew it would be a special night.

Imagine if Juve win the ball back during an Atletico counter and run at a disorganized defensive structure.

I still can't fault Atletico's approach at the moment.
They don't have to be disorganixed though. It's not either / or

Goal-line tech is perfect. Exactly what football assistance technology should be.
Commentator said “ not sure it would have been given years ago.” What before they had goal line tech? No shit!

Atletico are a bit shit, aren't they? Shadow of the team they used to be. So overrated.

Btw. could anybody tell me why the first goal didn't count. Imo that was never a foul.

PS: Or is it because LaLiga teams almost always get advantage with referees
It was a very tight decision. Half the Caf saw it one way, the other half saw it another way. I couldn't decide myself.
Well ronaldo only touches the ball. Oblak doesn't have it under control -> free ball.

After last year's final....

Who was the top scorer once again?

"The Champions League should change and be called the CR7 Champions League.

"I have won five and I am the goalscorer again, so I cannot be sad."
:D

Ronaldo two headers and people on here start comparing him to Messi. What a sad bunch can be found online. Just watch the guy do his thing and stop trying to dismiss everything the other does. Sad people.

If there was no goal line technology then I don't think that would have counted, was so close....
Goal line tech has been a massive boon to football since its inception, and to think that people were actually opposed to it.

Chielini is further from his own goal than Griezman is :lol:

It's so stupid to sit deep against a team wtih Ronaldo and Mandukic, they are amazing headers. Put the defensive line 15 meters ahead and pressure upfront. Juventus have no one to stretch the defense with pace.

Our lads could use a lesson from Juve in how to cross the ball
