i think i'm the only person who doesn't think that the shirt move was that douchey

he had a frustrating game b/c atletico would have 2 guys marking him off ball and would swarm with sometimes 3-4 guys when he had the ball. he still made some things happen for others, who just didn't finish

he has a lot of expectations going to real and they've been a team failure since he's been there in terms of their elite aspirations. once barca slides a bit they have the unfortunate luck of having atletico rise up for a super season

they finally break through, and he gets to put the cherry on top. i saw that celebration as a much bigger thing than just the goal he scored. it was teh realization of european success that has eluded him since he move to real. he finally won another ballon d'or and got to cap it off with another CL title

He´s the prime reason for the club getting back to this level.

He´ll also be the primary reason for it´s disintegration.

They need to get Pogba this summer and win two more before 2020.

I may be biased because he was my favorite player, but I agree with this.

Thought the penalty didn't need to be given because it was borderline in a match that was already over, but that celebration was his personal excitement over the title and the season.

why? you mean once he's gone and there is no more superstar?

i don't think he's really got a bad reputation in the locker room

No.

What has Pogba got to do with Isco? Two different animals.

I saw it as I always see it.

Hey everyone, don´t forget about me, my worthless garbage time goal is every bit as important or more so, than the game shaping goals of my inferior thunder stealing teammates.

He was pretty much invisible during the first 90+ minutes or so...

You're reading too far into that crap

He scored a goal at the very end of an important game. He celebrated. All of his teammates did the same shite

I do not think Ronaldo will cause a disintegration. Modric will keep everything together. Getting Pogba would be fantastic.

It is interesting how Madrid targets keep getting injured right before a move is supposed to happen (Gundogan, Falcao, now Vidal).

Pogba would be a big get, as that their only real weakness. I have to think that they have some good back-up targets if Juve really wants to keep him, but I can't think of any right now.

Ronaldo was lost much of this game.

Ramos made the big play, only because no one was on the far post, but he still made the play.

MOTM for me was Di Maria

Yeah, definitely Di Maria. His runs led to yellow cards that caused Atletico to not be so aggressive.

I'd say the second best player for RM yesterday was Bale.
