The banter within Arsenal is just 

That "sack him" at the end had me rolling

Good game of football, although Barca made it easy in the end but have to say that Juve gave them a tough time, harsh to see Pirlo and Buffon not winning the trophy, and seeing Pirlo crying in the end was heartbreaking.

My signature says it all. Not even gonna congratulate those items that are hold by a referee.

Indeed there was a clear foul on Pogba just before Suarez's goal, but this is what Barca is famous for

Only thing that made it easy was that PK not being given to Pogba. Juventus just another victim of UEFALONA's scheme with the help of some amateur Turkish referee.

Anyway, Morata got my love throughout this whole competition.

Uefalona always step up in big matches as they used to do in past, that 2009 Semi with Chelsea is a match disgrace to Football, and uncountable incidents in many matches.


It was a mistake by RM letting him go.

They can re-buy him, but I doubt they will.

Anyway  Thomas Vermaelen winning the treble without setting foot on the pitch. That's what I call class. XD

[Bundy]

Barca was stronger throughout the whole game, deserved the win.

Visca el barca!

I hate to admit it, but Barcelona was the strongest team on the pitch yesterday by a clear mile from La Vecchia Signora.  Oh boy, Juventus missed out their best defender, that was very unfortunate for them..

Now about Pogba's situation, that's not even a penalty. If you had taken sometime to see the whole replay from the begining, you'd notice that BOTH Dani Alves and Paul Pogba were holding each other's jersey. That's not a penalty, especially for a Champions League final.

The referee was absolutely correct through out the whole game, he just might missed out a yellow card on Neymar. NOT EVEN TO MENTION not sending off ARTURO VIDAL who was literally flirting with a second yellow from the first half, and Pogba in the end.

Do not even bother start moaning about the referees. Barcelona was a pure class through out the whole season, La Liga, Copa Del Rey and Champions league. The "MSN"(Messi Suarez Neymar) is currently the most powerful combination of attacking football and Juve was unable to prevent them from scoring.

I, on the other hand, am really really happy for Olympiacos, a team that got disqualified from the first round but managed to beat the runners up in probably the best football atmosphere in Europe, Stadium Georgios Karaiskakis.

some amateur Turkish referee.

From my opinion Cakir is one of the best referees out there.

Ikr, they are just bad girling for no reason about a game which was clearly one sided.

I'm gonna shout this out one last time and I won't bother answering to any of the future replies about the final.

The referee had no negative influence whatsoever, the real football fans would have noticed that.

Neymar was also disallowed a legit goal so enough bs from u Madrid fans pls

Arm not low and his hand changed the speed and direction of the ball = no goal.

Afterwards he was claiming it hit his chest lol.
