A very calm, honest interview from Jose.. that's a rarity.
Yep. I don't know who I want to win to be honest.
What's he done this time?
Chelsea lacked a Juan Mata tonight
First Champions League final for Atlético Madrid since 1973-74. That year they played 1-1, and lost 4-0 to Bayern München in the replay two days later.
Great result, and best of luck to Atletico in the final 
I don't believe we sent letters out for our last 2 parades at least, I also don't believe City did for theirs...
Good lad. Take it easy on yourself. You're not alone.
He said to Mourinho "Well, its an all Madrid final, what do you make of it" Or something like that. Mourinho diverted away from the question.
Nothing as bad like other times, but stuff like that is awesome lol
Prediction for the final:
Real Madrid 3-0 maybe more.
Real Madrid 3-0 maybe more.
I wish. It will be much closer than that. I have a bad feeling it will be like the Spanish cup final last year
Honestly man, I'm walking away from this. But that kind of anger just isn't good for you."Obnoxious, abusive bellend who is best ignored"
Now it all makes sense
Well done to Atletico and Simeone, deserved winners, good luck in the final.
We'll buy a couple of quality strikers and will be back.

No way. Atletico have their number, they lost the semi final of Copa del Rey admittedly but got 4 out of 6 in the league against them and beat them in the final last season as well.
Atletico will do the double
Pepe and Sérgio Ramos vs Diego Costa I can imagine the handbags.
I can imagine the handbags.OH, please do. I beg of you.
In a league with Real and Barca, that would be a truly incredible achievement.
oooh.
Simeone should get the coach of the year award regardless of what happens now. This is Atleti's one chance and will be great if they win. But, Atleti as a club has a lot of problems with the amount dodgy player ownership, debt, unpaid salary etc. They aren't quite the peoples club that everybody seem to think they are.
A lot of bitterness and contempt towards mourinho I have noticed. I understand why people don't like him, but I think the reaction is way to strong. What has he done recently to deserve such a reaction. Its been a while since he has done anything majorly controversial as far as I remember. He has had a good season and has definitely not failed. You don't fail going out in the semi finals. Its not so black and white where if you win you are a success and lose a failure. His team counterattacked like Madrid yesterday and Madrid got praise. The only difference is the result it seems
Simple. He's a cnut.
Although I'm grateful of the favour Chelsea did us at the weekend, I'm so happy to see them go out. The final would have been a bore and they deserve nothing in Europe anyway, the two Madrid clubs are on another level.
Very true, I have read a bit about that. I actually seen one on goal.com today. It would be interesting to put up. In football there is no such thing as the peoples club
If Mourinho doesn't like Oscar either, we can happily buy him like Mata. Maybe we will give him Fellaini as replacement as he will fit perfectly in Mourinho's team.
Name a successful manager that wasn't at least a few times in his career?
Poor JT.
I doubt they are worse than Madrid
Dortmund last year was a great story. But these doubts should not make simeone/atleti's achievement any less though. These group has been phenomenal.
Anyone else a bit underwhelmed by this season of football?
Few great matches.
Few great matches.
It was the same with Guardiola last night. I just don´t like him because he was a Porto manager and remember his antics. Even so i respect his achievements as a countryman
Pretty much all Real Madrid players are more expensive than Atletico's most expensive player I think.
Im sure I could dig up something if I wanted to
First time in seven years us or Bayern haven't been in the CL final
