Such a pathetic semifinal. The bad part in the final for Atletico is that is just 1 game and Real knows to play better a 1 game...but we'll see what Simeone can do with his warriors.

There is no rule that says whoever wins the Champions League is the best team that year. Under Messi we lost 2 La Ligas since 2008. On our way to make it 6/8. Now that's a true sign of dominance.

It is how much importance you give to a domestic League.
Real was named the best team of a 20th century not because of League titles, since other teams have a lot more domestic titles than Real.

Why Real is (or was, or again is?) a biggest team in Europe is a number of a CL titles.

When 10 or 20 years pass, no one care/knows how the title was won.
Today, nobody care how lucky we were in 1992 when we almost lost before a final (was in semis or qf, with a late goal in a 2nd leg), or how we won with a free kick goal in extra time?
Who cares, we won our first CL in 1992.

Or how Real won titles in 1998, 2000 and 2002 while they were 4th and 5th in La Liga?
Who cares?
That generation will always be remembered as a generation which won the highest amount of CLs in a 5 year period in the last 20 years...

Who will remember in 10 years how Real won titles in 2014 and in 2016?
Nobody...
Who cares today how referees helped us against Chelsea?
Nobody...
We are looking at that year as one of the best years in our history, referees, luck or other factors are forgotten after 2-3 years.

I mean, yes, we were more dominant in La ligas lately, true.
But just imagine Real winning a CL this season.
Or something worse, imagine our team being weaker, older and less motivated in the next 2-3 season, and just imagine if Real somehow wins a CL again in 2017 or 2018.

So, instead of our domination, Real has a chance to create new Galacticos, and in 20 years people will say/think that Real was as equally as good as Barca.
Or that CR7 was as good (at least in CLs with Real) as Messi.

I just have no words currently.

We have Messi, we have Msn, we have the most expensive team which Barca ever have in our history, and f***ing Real is winning CL after a CL lately.

What will happen when Messi will be gone?
I am afraid to even think about it.

Funny you're saying then when you don't even want the club to start building for that now by inducing young blood in the squad, and constantly advocate for buying players 28 and over.

Can't have it both ways BBZ.

This is not taking a shot at you btw, but I think the way the club's transfer policy which you largely support in fear of 'inexperience' will lead to a huge issue a few years down the road and supporting that is just like that.

I don't know what kind of trickery will Pep have to make in order to bring MC running up for the titles. Pathetic team. How did they got this far?
And I'm not saying this to discredit Real's efforts, but my God, Juventus is another world for City.

Pretty obvious that Atletico will win the final.It is written in the stars that Simeone will win the last trophy that is still missing against the Team that beat them 2 years ago.

If Real wins it 2 times in 3 years in the era while we had Messi, for me this will be a bigger blow than watching Real winning titles in 1998, 2000 and 2002.

We are also to blame A LOT, if Real wins 2 CLs in 3 years.
A disgrace.

This is a really important point as well.

Although I think it's debatable that we were to blame in 2014, because we ourselves knew we were poor that year, this year if Real manages to win, we are absolutely to take a massive share of the blame. We were the best team in the world for 90% of the season, and we fucked-up when it mattered the most.

It's definitely on us for letting it happen.

It's also written in the stars that Athletico will fail at the summit like they did in the last occasion. Perhaps they are masters of the 2 legged tie. A one off final however is s different story.
