Alves ought to be fined for that.

 

[Nando]

Great finish from Neymar.

Cracking final. Delighted for Xavi - one of the best players I'll see in my lifetime.

 

[Alan]

Can't a more likable team when this competition for once?

Anyway, there's the quadruple for Barcelona. Quite an achievement.

Game set match Barca. Been a good final and Juve have been excellent but the quality of Barca in the final third told in the end. Hopefully this is the start of a revival for Italian football.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It is a messy law looking at the way it is written. Doesnt matter now as Neymar has got his goal. 3-1 feels a little harsh on Juventus but Barcelona have been definitely that bit better tonight.

Barcelona have really won me round this season, I hated them in the Pep days, the football was so slow and dull but they're so much more entertaining now, they've even made me a have grudging respect for Neymar! I used to hate that little show pony bastard but he seems to have come on incredibly since moving to Spain, less pointless tricks and much more of a team player than he ever seemed before, he's scored in the last 5 Champions League games too, pretty impressive record!

 

[YoungWolf]

It should count. I know it's a pretty shit goal to concede but Neymar does nothing wrong apart from a shit attempt at a header. He doesn't handball it intentionally and his arm wasn't in a unnatural position hence it should be a goal.

Does make for a better last 15 minutes now though.

It changed the flight of the ball. Doesn't need to be intentional.

They definitely play better football but my God I wish they would cut out the "gamesmanship".

Not according to da rulez.

Visque Barca

Have a read through what i posted afterwards. That doesn't matter. I know it would have been a shit goal to concede and as DW said maybe it is common sense that it doesn't count but in the rules it should count.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Delighted for Xavi - one of the best players I'll see in my lifetime.

Agreed. And I've even seen him play at Molineux!

The best team in the tournament won it this year which is all you can ask really. They'll win me round even further when Dani Alves fucks off this summer.

 

[YoungWolf]

Thu are brilliant Mark. As well as an incredible front three, their midfield is the best in the world and the back four has performed pretty well too! Don't understand how people can dislike them when they play such beautiful football, and have done in general for a long time

I don't think it's as bad as it has been at some points in the past, seems more isolated to certain players who are just a bit cunty rather than a intentional mindset across the entire team. Messi, Rakitic and Iniesta all about as honest as they come, even Suarez seems pretty sensible these days but then you've got dicks like Alves and Busquets, who I still really like as a player aside from this trait, who just can't help themselves, even though Neymar is still one of the worst offenders in the team I think he's dropped some of the theatrical shit from when he first moved from Brazil.

Glad to say I was there too. An absolute genius of a player.

I don't think I've ever seen Pirlo so emotional as he was at the end.

Same as Lichtsteiner in 1st half.

This we definitely agree on. I love watching Barca play and always have, i don't get the hate.

 

[Lycan]

It's pretty easy to dislike them. Sportsmanship still matters to some and Barca fall way short on that point.

I really don't think they are that bad. Alves and Busquets have their moments but most sides have players like that.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Vermaelen kitted up :icon_lol:

Well done son, a medal well earned.
