    Shame for Atletico, I wanted them to win. Quite unlucky with the offside goal and missing the penalty and that they seemed the better team throughout the game but they do lack an extra quality attacking player really to win it. Torres was garbage, if he was instead a player like Isco or some other guy of great quality they'd be a much better team.

    It's not really when they still play like that.

    I think a side containing that self obsessed prat Ronaldo and slimy creatures like Pepe is the only one I could possibly prefer Atletico against as the lesser of two evils.

    Thought Atletico were a wee bit unlucky, Real's goal was just offside and you kinda expect someone to miss one in the shootout but Real didn't.

    On a tactical level I think Zidane got it right, he knew Atletico would come out and go at them second half so he got Real to play on the break and they created quite a few chances that if they had took they would have been out of sight. I don't know what Simeone was doing with his subs, sure Carrasco was a great sub to bring on but he kept his other two until the second half of extra time - brought them on far too late to make an impact. Thought he was going to go for the van Gaal keeper sub at the World Cup tactic to screw with Real, but it wasn't so.

    He should have brought off Torres or Griezmann aswell, they were both dire.

    "Did the winning penalty taker take her top off (like Ronaldo)?"

    A female footballer did actually do that once, I remember. Some American bird.

    I was hoping that the penalties would get decided before Ronaldo took one. Have to hand it to him though, there isn't many players who can steal all the limelight having done nothing for 120 minutes.

    He was the same when the sides met in the last final as well. Scored a penalty in the last minute when the game was already done, having been anonymous all throughout.

    I hate the way players all rush to congratulate the 'winning' penalty taker. If the other guys hadn't scored they wouldn't be in that position.

    I get it though, of course.

    Even though I despise Real Madrid and what they stand for I was glad Simeone didn't win it again. Atletico went from "yeah I'm rooting for these underdogs" to "ugly *".

    To tell the truth Real Madrid really disappointed me and they didnt win the final, Atletico lost it.
