This year's UEFA Champions League Final will take place on the 3rd of June (20:45 CET) at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.



Juventus F.C.



Massimiliano Allegri's students are the freshly crowned Italian champions, for the sixth time in a row. This is also their 2nd CL final in the last 3 years and they have the chance to win the treble, after defeating Lazio (2-0) in the Coppa Italia final. They have looked very solid throughout the season, with a squad containing older, veteran players and young, very talented ones. They have a very balanced squad, with a solid defense and only 3 goals scored against them in the whole CL season.


Campionato Italiano: 33
Coppa Italia: 12
Champions League: 2


Juventus' road to Cardiff


tl;dw version

Group winners vs. Sevilla, Lyon, Dinamo Zagreb

R16: Porto - Juventus agg. 0-3 (0-2 away, 1-0 home)

QF: Juventus - Barcelona agg. 3-0 (3-0 home, 0-0 away)

SF: Monaco - Juventus agg. 1-4 (0-2 away, 2-1 home)


Expected lineup







Real Madrid C.F.



Zinedine Zidane's players are also the freshly crowned Spanish champions, having the opportunity to be the first team in the history of the CL to win the trophy twice in a row. Real Madrid have probably the best squad they've ever had, very complete and solid on every position, almost perfectly managed by Zidane and his staff. Therefore, everyone in the team is feeling important and in optimum physical condition, especially the best football player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo, who seems to have peaked in the last couple of months.


Primera Division: 33
Copa del Rey: 19
Champions League: 11



#RoadToCardiff

Second place in the group stage against Borussia Dortmund, Legia Warsaw, Sporting CP

Expected line-up




Der Markt odds

Juventus 2.10

May the best team win, have fun!

I don't watch that much Football or Juventus; but how is a team that has given up 3 goals in 12 games (6 round robin games, 3 rounds x Home and Home) just solid d; wouldn't that be elite?

Guess I'm rooting for Juventus but I wouldn't be shocked to see Real roll (love Zidane!).

Is Madrid going to play in white or a different colour? I assume Juventus is the home side

definitely, but I think they would've let more goals in if they played Bayern, BVB or Napoli. Monaco could've scored more as well. it doesn't matter that much to me, RM will be their first serious test in that regard, they've scored in 64 matches in a row so far.

5 days left, history will be made.

Juve's first treble, or RM's double, while being the first team in the history of the CL to retain their title?

Yeah, saying Ronaldo is the best player in the world is laughable. He's clearly the best player in the universe, just edging out Gromulus Xyzor Jr of the Koraxian galaxy.

yep, the big question right there, Isco or Bale for the final? Casemiro is happy for not being the coach and having to make that decision.

Well, Bale pretty much answered this question today, he said he's not at 100% to compete the whole 90 minutes. Isco seems like a lock to start.

Juve's players will earn a 350k euro bonus if they win the CL, RM's players 1.5 mil euro.

fair enough, when you're a bum and your bum team is not good enough, you resort to being happy when someone is sad.

The spanish journos attended RM's training and said Bale looked amazing, hard not to believe them after campaigning for Isco all the time. Hopefully he can be useful tomorrow.

If Bale's not fit, then Isco please.

Hopefully, everyone involved(players) will be honest with Zidane and he can make the wise grand decision and not have to waste an early sub like he did during el clasico.
