I haven't watched Real much this season so maybe we have someone who knows their weak spots? I remember Osman saying Casemiro has been suspicious lately.

If Carvajal doesn't make the game, Danilo will certainly be the weak link. Expect Mandzu and Sandro to rip open their right flank.

Anything can happen in a final and if you don't have luck on the day your probably not coming home with the trophy.

I think it's honestly a 50/50 but if I had to pick a winner and my life depended on it I would pick Juve

Hey, and if Juve lose, it's not like you can't just go out, buy a CR7 shirt and say you've been a Madrid fan all along, right? God, I love the options in your world.

Thank god it's against Madrid, the semi final against Monaco was the boringest ever. No intrigue at all, you start the game and just know how it will end.

The final against Madrid will be nervwrecking and awesome. And I believe we have all the chances to beat them!

lolliga record but Real Madrid are one goal away from being the team that has scored the most goals away from home. The record currently stands at 53 goals, with real currently on 52.

Other facts about them in CL.

Real Madrid have scored the most goals in CL. They have scored 32 (We've scored 21).

24 of these goals were scored from within the area (The joint highest with dortmund).
7 by headers (highest in CL this year)
Theyve had 226 attempts at goal (again highest in CL)

Their ball possession is 53% on par with us but second to Bayern.
Theyve had more corners than anyone (78) and attempted more crosses than anyone (284)

That's 50%!! less white.

Yeah, how could I forget that one!

But on a serious note, it says a lot if not already in how they have played and how they deservedly belong in the final. It doesn't get tougher than this. I'm not sure white jerseys say much, but I'll look into that.

Hoping for a Pepe fuck-up then
Actually you should hope he doesnt make it. Varane is the mayor of fuckupville right now, since he got back from injury and prior to it, he has been error prone, more then thats remotely acceptable. Plus Ramos has his minor moments he forgets he is a defender and not a swashbuckling hero of a Danielle Steele novel, so he will at times overcommit or leave space. So you do NOT want the only CB who will purely focus on defending well and physically manhandling Gonzalo with every inch, to make it. When the option is the now more shaky Varane.


Even worse news is if Nacho started, suprisingly their most reliable and solid CB with Ramos.

Kroos for corners, and Marcelo and Carvajal for crosses(with occasional Modric and Ronaldo chipping in), thats litterally Zizou's main approach. It kinda annoys Real fans I know, tho they have the ability to switch up, possibly the best counter attacking team do, and can play ball in midfield if a big came calls for it. But essentially they are skillfull overqualified version of Hoofball tactics :D

Yeah I guess they are not taking full advantage of Modric's potential then.

Which formation do you see Zidane playing against us, a 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2?
