I'm freerolling homie, nobody won it twice in a row, the curse might be too strong.

Where is the Martial for Ł60m coming from? It was Ł36m plus add ons.

Ł16m of those add-ons are almost a foregone conclusion as he needs just another goal with Utd. and around 12 more caps with France. The other Ł8m is if he's nominated for a Ballon d'Or, and that one seems a bit more unlikely although that nomination list is usually 20-25 players long.

The main point though, is that Monaco hasn't done this by pouring obscene amounts of money into the club, but rather with shrewd signings of young players. They haven't spent more than Ł14m on a player since Summer '13, but obviously Rybolovlev coming into the picture and briefly splashing money around raised the profile of the club. They were in Ligue 2 just 5 seasons ago after all.

Marty's point is valid though. Pouring a ton of money in first makes it easier to do a Southampton later. Also considering how good they were 14 years ago it's not like this is some tiny club like Leicester doing this. Still impressive mind you.

Best draw possible for anyone who couldn't bear another Madrid derby in the final.

Hopefully Atletico win. They really deserve to win it.

Them or Monaco please.

I wouldn't mind any non Real winner tbh.

Juventus whilst I don't like them at all have only won it twice in their history which is ridiculous. Wouldn't be too annoyed. Would prefer Athletico or Monaco tbh though.

Atletico - Juve final would be awful. Real - Monaco best possible outcome entertainment wise, but I'd rather not risk the ****s winning it again, so hoping for Atletico - Monaco.

It's the optimal final alright.

Madrid - Juve / Monaco fine by me. But if atletico win it, I'd be happy for their lot considering losing both those finals - just rather not see them play.

QF/SF are better football moments in Champion's league, except Liverpool-Milan 2005 and United-LolBayern 1999

As a neutral fan i'd pick the 100% Madrid final, rather than double header

Really? Seems odd to me considering you can see them play 2+ times a year anyway.

Vrsaljko, Juanfran, Carrasco, Gimenez won't make it, Atletico won't have a natural RB, Marcelo and Isco should dismantle that wing. Benzema starting would be yet another travesty.
