Kroos getting tackled by Kante is such a beautiful sight

Everything to play for still, even though it doesnt look great for RM.
Chelsea gets a 2nd goal its game over though.

He's always been a bitch. Never a killer, never driven. Coasted through on footwork mostly.
He doesn't work enough.
anyone still wanting Real to win because they think they'll stop City can't actually be watching this game can they? 
what a sorry sad state they look here.
what a sorry sad state they look here.He has had a lot of injuries and fatness. He looks out of his depth.
I expected something more direct and daring. It seems that he is wasting Vini. For what he has done, being more concerned with defending, he could have used Valverde.
Hazard clearly made a stellar choice
Congrats Chelsea. You Jammy feckers.

Nobody seriously thinks this surely. It was evident Chelsea were superior from the first leg also.
Yep the fact Bayern v PSG was a quarter final tie and one of Chelsea or Madrid will be in the final... christ
Bitter, much?
Still favour them in a one offanyone still wanting Real to win because they think they'll stop City can't actually be watching this game can they?
Rooting for Chelsea to win a Champions League final is just such an unappealing prospect that I'm still with Real Madrid even though logically I know that you're right that the best chance of City not winning is if they play Chelsea. Madrid are so lacking in dynamism and tempo and, unusually for them, their front line outside of Benzema isn't very scary these days.anyone still wanting Real to win because they think they'll stop City can't actually be watching this game can they?
Injuries and fatness? Never heard it put like that before
Can't help but feel Chelsea will be by far the tougher opponent for City. They have a solid defence, a tough midfield and a quick (but a bit wasteful) attack.
Neither of these stand a chance against City.
Gluttony then.
They've had worse than this. The Julio Baptista era was not that long ago.
Chelsea need a 2nd. Can see Madrid scoring, Benzema is so dangerous and all it takes is one half chance for him right now.
Real players seem knackered, Ramos and Hazard back from injuries, Chelsea had the luxury to change things in the last games. Can’t see Real getting through.
We should have this wrapped up. Stand strong Chelsea. fecking hell
If it's a Chelsea v City final, will UEFA have a one off plastic CL trophy made to award to the winners?
I cant see Madrid scoring.
He should have scored 3 in the first leg. This isn't over
Real could win this in the end. Who knows.
They've been here before.
They've been here before.
Madrid have had the better chances.
Considering City were outplayed by Chelsea recently, I’d say they have the best chance, especially on a neutral ground.
Havertz is improving, Werner might just have broken his scoring hoodoo. Mount is impressing all the time. Their defence is mean. Plus Tuchel won’t be expansive
It will be closer than you think
The scheme today has been brilliant. Trapping Kroos and Modric as they're having to drop deep to receive since Ramos is being given no time on the ball. Attacking either wide CB since both look completely out of sorts. Madrid's injuries have really hurt them but Tuchel is ruthlessly attacking the weaknesses of their backups.
Seems to be a theme in the last 2 or 3 years, but have we ever had such weak semi finalists?
City - a good team but nowhere near what they used to be.
PSG - cant even win Ligue 1.
Chelsea - scrapping for 4th with West Ham breathing down their neck.
Madrid - a shadow of their former selves.

Let’s run through all the 7 Deadly Sins for good measureGluttony then.
No they haven't. Chelsea have fecked up about 6 or 7 breaks with poor final balls - Werner especially guilty. Madrid have had about 2 or 3 touches in Chelsea's penalty area in total.
Those 2 in an empty stadium is about as drab as it gets
Zidane doesn't lose finals...
He looks like he murdered a Big Mac. I am probably mixing my seven deadly sins with the ten commandments.
Nope but will the winners really care? It just has the winners on the trophy nothing else
Real shadow of that 2016-2018 team, which is understandable as most of their key players are older and there's no Ronaldo anymore. Benzema is class though, came close twice already.
How about semis
And went large by the look
Of it
Conflicted now. Ultimately I much rather Madrid win the whole thing, but Chelsea are probably more equipped to beat City in the final.
Zidane doing an Ole. No changes
