    I think if I was forced to choose, I'd like to see Juve win it for Buffon.

    Juve can * up for their antics at Parkhead a few year ago. Utter *.

    Monaco for me; young, entertaining and full of goals.

    Monaco for me all day everyday..

    Been loving watching them this year. Such a breath of fresh air..

    * Juve. I'll never forget that last minute dive and the scumbag * that support them terrorising us through the fences. Slashed our support in the 80's. Cheated at Celtic Park with that Swiss *..

    * rooting for them..

    Hoping for a Monaco/Real Madrid final for pure entertainment..

    Saw some of this flicking between the snooker and by far and away deserved the win. Hammered Madrid first half and the striker up top I've seen for Portugal at the Euro's Gomes but the wee 11 I think it was that scored the third was top class..

    Considering the amount of cheats in 3 of those teams i would like Monaco to win it.
    Basically, the lesser of 4 evils.

    Juventus will easily beat Monaco, they're too good defensively and will have enough to punish them with Higuain and Dybala. Real vs Atletcio is a bit tougher but Ronaldo is in immense form so is likely to once again be the difference.

    Would almost be an absolute travesty if he retired without one, if he does do it I think you could probably say he's just about the greatest keeper of all time. He's an absolute gentleman too and a fantastic human being who's always came across incredibly humble.

    So for his sake I'll be rooting for Juve this time.

    I guarantee you Juventus don't easily beat Monaco.

    Opposite for me, Real have plenty of goals in them over 180 minutes.

    Juve will be too street wise for them, this is the same Juve defence that just survived two legs against Messi, Suarez and Neymar without conceding a goal. Monaco will have faced nothing like this Juve side all season. For me it's likely to be something like Juve getting at least a draw in the away leg and beating them 2-0 in the home leg, they won't concede more than a goal over the two matches. Monaco are also incredibly inexperienced so it's yet to be seen how they cope with facing such a tight well regimented defence. It's a bridge too far I feel.

    Aye I said a few days ago that I reckon Monaco will get "found out" against a team that can actually defend at this level. They've been somewhat fortunate to get Man City and Dortmund so far, as both of them leak goals.

    Fancy Juve to deal with them fairly comfortably.

    I think they'll struggle to score as easily as well but that wasn't what you said...

    I'm pretty sure one season monaco had one of best defences whether they have the same defence as 2 years ago I don't know

    I'd love to see Atletico beat Real for once in UCL. Monaco to beat Juve too.
