Jesus, Ally “he really is” McCoist is dreadful, he really is.

I like him but he's harsh on the strikers

What a terrible take that is

Joselu !

Bellingham seems really heavy legged last few times I’ve seen him

Ok, maybe dreadful is harsh, but the way he pads out most of his sentences with superlatives, “let me tell you”, “I really do”, “it really is” etc. grates on me.

[StriderHiryu]

Dortmund have been really impressive, this isn't the one-sided affair many thought it would be!

 

A very entertaining final so far! Often these are pretty tight and cagey, but these lightning fast counter attacks have me on edge!

[fazzyfox]

Crikey GK, more rolls than Laurence Olivier!

You'd have to have not seen Real Madrid play for like five years to think it was going to be one sided tbf. 

 

They're a terrifying counter attacking team with an industrious midfield and some lightning attackers. 

 

But they rarely dominate teams their own level. They're really happy to surrender possession and break.

That dive

[Raj]

Dortmund managers fit.

This is the kind of punditry and analysis I want on the telly. 

 

[Staff]

This ref 😂

[Ian Nacho]

Referees having a mare. 

[trabuch]

The ref will win it for Real.

[goody2028]

Was that an Anderlecht flag in the Madrid end? 

[martyn]

Vinicius Jr was unlucky to get the first yellow, but the ref absolutely bottled that dive. Gave a foul about 5 seconds after he fell over to avoid the difficult decision.

[theessexfox]

Couple of horrid decisions from Adeyemi unfortunately 

[foxes_rule1978]

Real fortunate to not be losing, been very poor Vinicius Junior being dealt with very well just as Mbappe was

I can confirm that you and my missus are of like minds. She is nursing a fat lip atm

[Foxdiamond]

See the toffs in the posh seats are late back to their seats for the second half again

[Raj]

Hate it when the w@nkers in the half line seats dont bother coming back in time for the 2nd half 

Prawn brigade w@nkers.

[Leicesterpool]

Quite ironic the atmosphere from both fans at Wembley, is way better than the atmosphere from the Fa Cup final. Just shows sadly us English fans struggle to raise the atmosphere on big occasions. 

[UniFox21]

Dortmund playing some really good stuff.

Really enjoy how they use their winger to pin the defensive full back in and then attacking with their full back

Make me laugh when folk over here reckon it’s because of security and policing we can’t have good fan culture over here. Yet every time europeans come over they shit all over us.

Funny how they didnt show that on the tv coverage.
