Why do you not like Ramos?

Some bad language.
An oldie but a goodie.

Ha! Seems about right.

He gets handed the keys to some of the best clubs in the world and it seems like he tries to make zany team selections to justify his involvement, usually the teams are so good that they win in spite of Pep's meddling.

Bring back Jupp?

After Spain beat Germany (I can't remember when exactly, but I think it was the Euro 2008 final) the Spaniards interrupted an interview with one of the German players with dancing and celebrating, completely unnecessary. For whatever reason Ramos was one of the players that stuck out to me in that and I just can't get over it.

For what it's worth, the style of play that Ramos plays is one that I really like. Physical, not afraid to take fouls/cards to stop attacks. He'd run through a brick wall to win. Plus he's got enough skill (as he showed today). I'd take him on my team in a heartbeat but as long as he plays for someone else he basically gets all of my disdain for the Spanish besting the Germans.

I'm sure at the moment Pep is somewhere in Munich poring over the gamesheets:

"No, no, no! It was 69 to 31, surely we won!"

'Thats possession, you still have to score goals Pep...'

"No....thats not the rules is it?"

Jose is already set to park the bus again.

Great effort by David Luiz. Still 0-0, but it's had an ok tempo to the match so far

Torres with the goal, 1-0 Chelsea. Bounced in off a defender

[Locke]

Ffs.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

1-1! Chelsea completely stopped on the play

Yes Atleti up now with the away goal

[Locke]

Excellent.

Game is poised well now - Chelsea need a goal, have 45 minutes to get it, without opening up and letting Atletico score again. Hopefully next year, Courtois is back playing for Chelsea, starting to take the reins from Cech.
It is good to see an Aussie playing in the Champions League though - Schwarzer has waited a long time to start a Champions League game

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Penalty!

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Costa converts! Chelsea in big trouble

[vennegoor of hesselink]

Chelsea need 2. Torres hat trick?

[M*A*S*H 4077]

The post with the save of the match for Atletico

[Locke]

Good. They should benefit from playing a crappy negative game.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

It's over!

Madrid derby for the final

Arda Turan 3-1 Atletico
