Champions League Final... (45)

Who do people want to see in the Champions League Final?? Loads of people are saying they'd love to see a Barcelona and Madrid final, i'm not so sure, they are the 2 best teams in the world BUT i don't think it'll be the best game, the diving and cheating that goes on in these games in Spain is ridiculous, it ruins what could be a brilliant game.

Anyone else have a view on this?? dunno

I agree with you there. The diving and playacting in Spain is unreal. I think Bayern would fancy their chances to win in Madrid.

Yeah it was a good game, Madrid should have went for it but they sat back too much, gonna be a cracker in the Bernabeu, Chelsea are not gonna be easy to beat...don't rule out a Chelsea vs Madrid final thumbs up

I would like to see a Madrid v Barca final. Firstly because they are the 2 best teams in the world, secondly for their rivalry and finally i don't agree that Bayern should be allowed to host the final on their home pitch if they got there, don't think that is fair.

I think the final should be organised once the draw for the semi's have been made... Madrid, Barca, Bayern Chelsea... Paris is neutral for all 4 teams, easy choice!

I don't know, i think it adds extra pressure to them!! Imagine losing the European Cup Final in your stadium, then having to play there every other week..wouldn't be a nice feeling.

Inter won it in Milan in 1965, United won it in Wembly 1968 (Same Country ), Ajax won it in Rotterdam in 1972 (Same Country ), Liverpool beat Roma in Rome in 1984, Liverpool won in Wembly 1978 (Same Country ), Barca were beaten in Seville in 1986 (Same Country ), Juve were beaten in Rome in 1996 (Same Country ), Dortmund won in Munich in 1997 (Same Country ), United were beaten in Wembly in 2011 (Same Country ). Thats just off the top of my head....could be more.

A lof of finals were played in grounds that could not really be considered neutral, so it would be unfair change the way the venue is chosen now. Plus for such a showpiece in a city it would take longer than a few weeks to organise.

thumbs up

Very hard to organise it logistically given the stadium bookings, hotel reservations for teams, local infrastructure that needs to be implemented/organised with 4 weeks to spare Rob. I see nothing wrong with the current system as its probably the lesser of all evils. Hard to please everyone and I can't see the top teams complaining about it given it's rotated.

Have to agree with you hun. Ronaldo gets loads of goals but what a ponse!! Barca simply too hot for Chelsea and too much strength in depth, but Bayern just might do it. Tough battle ahead for them though.
