Our season finished a week before so there was no Hearts game that day to talk about. It's the biggest club game of the season in Europe. Two great clubs with amazing players. Real Madrid, like Hearts, are fan owned. Apparently showing an interest in those teams or that game means you are a plastic fan. I'd argue that Real Madrid or Liverpool in the Champions League is slightly more interesting than Hibs, Hibs shitey new strip, Dundee or Harry Kane yet there are threads about all of them.

What a player, what a man and what a signing. Even more so when you think that the Catalan, Barça supporting media described it as "42 MIllion to Hide Their Embarrassment", saying it was just to cover up Madrid's poor start to the season. In his ten years at Real Madrid Club de Fútbol he has played in and won 5 Champions League Finals. To put that in context, a club like Barça has won 5 in its history and a player like Messi has only played in and won 3 Finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's one of those where if they'd lost itbtge pressure would be on already. Frankfurt knocked out some good teams last season so are no mugs. Apparently there's a phrase in Spanish football that goes "Real Madrid don't play finals, they win them". It's hard to argue with that on recent evidence.

Mikey1874 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 12th season in Champions League for City and 2nd final. Madrid did well to get to semis with team in transition. After only winning 5 Champions Leagues in last 10 seasons they'll need to improve. After losing Casemiro their best player last 2 years and Modric having one more year, its an interesting time for them. But lots of good signs with their youngsters and who they'll sign next. City doing very well with likes of Grealish and Foden coming in will also have a transition with likes of De Bruyne, Silva, Gundogan and Mahrez reaching their peak.

Replacing guys the class of what they’ve had, it’s easier said than done. As Man Uniteds last 10 years away from the top table has shown. When Scholes Giggs Carrick Ferdinand Rooney went, that was it, finished. They’ve spent a billion since then and not won a league. Same with Barca - without Xabi, Iniesta never the same team. AC Milans great side from 15 years ago - it was gone after Pirlo and Gattuso went and took them a decade to get back a title. It’s that type of moment for Real. Replacing greatness particularly in the midfield, that’s the heartbeat of a team. It’s very difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
