Yea, he was offside when he tried to head in the first cross, therefore the ref surely has to blow the whistle, how was he not interfering with play? Strange decision. 

this isn't the most gripping match, I hope tomorrow night's is better

Isco subbed off, when he should have been sent off.

Ronaldo again. 

World class 

that was a great finish

How Benzema makes the team ahead of Morata I shall never know & as I type he gets an assist for Ronaldo's 2nd

Well Koke should be off too so it's even 

So the Messi Ronaldo debate takes another turn- back to back hat tricks for Ronaldo against Bayern & Athletico

that's that tie over, looking forward to Juve tomorrow - maybe only a well organised Italian defence can stop Real Madrid, I can't see Monaco coping with them

Real are gonna win another European Cup. I can't see Juve or Monaco beating them, Ronaldo is just amazing. Still the best player I've ever seen.

Should he? I must have missed that challenge, fair enough.

42 hattricks, that's mental.

Be doing well to see that kind of goal scoring ratio again

 

When does Simeone start being questioned about falling short constantly? Apparently he's the best manager in the world according to some, Very one dimensional in my opinion.

Well, that tie is over. No way are Atletico Madrid getting back into that one. Diego Simeone's tactics aren't working as well as they used to. Real Madrid seem to have it sussed now. I don't think he will ever manage to beat Real Madrid with Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

Juve need to go through. No way Monaco can even compete with Real. Real look so strong... I don't remember Ronaldo pulling the tricks out and dribbling, like he did for this match, for a long time. It was great to watch.

He's a smart footballer. He knows he doesn't have the speed or quickness of feet that he did 2/3 years back.

His positioning,  movement and goal instinct make him a ideal fox in the box.

He still has a few years at the top because he can just slot into that striker role.

He just doesn't have the personnel this year (or last year for that matter). This is a team with just good and not world class players (except one or two) who constantly overachieve.

He's undoubtedly become just that over the last two years with great success. Which is why I was surprised to see him suddenly going past players with ease today...

I hate him with a passion but .....you just can't argue he is amazing ! Without him Man Utd would be less one champions league, Real less two, Portugal wouldn't have come close to a European cup, he kicks Messi into oblivion, imagine what he would do at Barca or Chelsea !! (god forbid)  !

 

 

United got mugged off big time by Real, A decades worth of action, 400 + goals, Baloon d'ors for fun, Commercial revenue through the roof and all for what, A pesky £80 million? There's a message there for Chelsea also with Hazard, You never sell these type of elite players, No amount of money will justify it.

anyone else growing a bit bored of the champions league? i am feeling a bit like that towards it. not just because we aren't in it, but it's always the same old clubs making it through to the final. over the last 3/4 seasons it's been an all madrid final, and a real madrid vs juventus final. if juventus get through, it will be another real/juve final. god forbid real madrid winning another final; it is kind of sickening tbh. 

Ronaldo might be a very selfish footballer, but he is a really game winner. Impressed me so much.

I still can't find out what is so special in Koke? Watching Kroos and Modric, I can't even compare them with him.

Don't be silly.

Apart from the odd Classico watching two Spanish teams go at it is boring, looking forward to Juve v. Monaco tomorrow.

Real didn't play Juve in the final, that was Barcelona
