Hopefully the CL final tonight is a much better match than the Conference League Final in midweek.
We could be in for a treat going by previous head to head games between the finalists.
There's been 17 goals in their last 4 meetings which is over 4 goals a game.
There's also been 36 goals in their last 10 meetings.
( 3.6 goals per match )
But the last 4 CL finals have all finished 1-0.

Hopefully Dortmund upset them buzz
They are similar to us in that they regularly sell their best players and repeat, obviously on a much bigger scale. lewandowski, Haaland, bellingham, sancho, gundogan to name a few.
Im actually looking forward to this new format next season. I think its needed a freshen up for a few years now but that's probably down to the same couple of billionaire clubs reaching the final every year.
{Ed007's Note - I've always had a soft spot for Real Madrid so I obviously want them to win but I think Dortmund's new sponsorship deal with an arms/weapons manufacturer will see them lose a lot of neutral's support tonight.}

Dortmund just announced they will be getting sponsored by a company connected to the arms trade.
Rheinmetal.
Cmon the real Madrid.

People are daft, last World war allowed their leaders to have the poor soldiers kill each other left right and centre . What for? So the Brits could buy the most sophisticated weapons off the Germans .
All bosom friends now and preparing to murder other men women and children, not Germany v Brits but Germany and Brits.

Well said des. Say no to joing armed forces. Say no to putting your life at risk to make the power elite richer.
History got air brushed. They conveniently leave out the part that fascism was popular in the UK and US. That we supported Mussolini, Franco and Hitler as the power elite wanted to crush communism. Hitler was voted times magazine man of the year.

I loved the 1 about Henry Ford supplying the so called enemy with all the vehicles and engines from his warehouses in Germany. After the war he sued the American government for bombing his warehouses and contents. He won!

Prescott Bush was heavily involved with the Nazis before the war. During the war he continued and action was taken against him by the state.

I thought Dortmund’s effort last night reminded me of a typical Celtic performance in the League section of Champions league . In a lot of our matches we had very good periods of attacking football, should have scored but usually just couldn’t get final pass or touch .
Dortmund were the same last night for over an hour, they looked like scoring several times, should have scored . Eventually Real Madrid got a foot hold in the game and scored not only one goal but two and showed in a few minutes while they have won 15 Champions Leagues., and they are really just in the process of building their team.
