Great drama but I cannot think of a worse pairing for the final. Two sets of supporters that I least like.

Can both of them lose & the trophy be awarded to someone else?

Incredible. What a treat the Champions League has been this season. I do feel for the Ajax players there. The devastation once the winner goes in sends me flashbacks to the Forlan goal.

So pleased it's an all English final. Hopefully  the Europa will be too. Really piss off Uefa!

Have a few Spurs mates who have always had a soft spot for Fulham  over the years so will be rooting for them in the final.

All English Final wow.
Nothing to do with uk

It's great to have two English teams in the Final.
If I had a choice I would prefer Tottenham Hotspur, however, we are guaranteed and English team as the winner, and an English team as runners up.

Heartache for Ajax.

I'm with Spurs for the final too. Nobody needs to win that thing 6 times...

Or to suffer being told again and again and again how many times they've won the bloody thing!

They've never won the Champions league,different competition from European Cup,which was a straight knock out.

Neither of them were "champions" last season either... :)

Putting that to one side, I've got to say that it's been two nights of amazing drama. Move aside Game of Thrones, move aside Line of Duty, just stick the footy on the box.

Not sure who to root for to be honest. Probably Liverpool as their achievement against Barcelona was the stand-out moment, and I think Klopp is a genius.

Two evenings and two dramatic games of football with totally different kinds of turnarounds but both being what football is and should be all about.  Entertaining games both, with incident and controversy aplenty but outcomes determined by who got sufficient goals to win the tie overall.  Now we have a final to relish in Madrid where an English club will become European Champions.  Let's hope it is three in a row.

Think the CL started in 1992 which means when they beat Milan it was a champions league final

Hate to say hats off to Spurs but they achieved it playing away. The real shame is that so few of us were unable to view the 2 matches due to the TV rights being sold off to a limited audience. I refuse to subscribe to Sky, BT Sport & Amazon Prime. £90 a month can be better spent.
I do not use the various streaming sites as have had bad experiences with picking up viruses & Trojans. Anyway my security setting won´t allow them to run.

grandad, get someone you know- a friend etc - who has sky or BT to give it to you on a device ,i.e. iPad , that's how I watched the games. Not as good as tele but it's not very often you need BT . They can , if they subscribe have it on 2 , maybe 3 devices .thats exactly how I've got BT , just on my iPad.👍⚽️

Grandad and anyone else, as far as I'm aware, the final, due to the terms of BTs deal have to show it free to air for everyone .

Bet Sess.now has an eye on a move to Spurs or Liverpool who are the teams of the moment. Such a move may be good for him. Just hope that if it happens we squeeze every possible penny out of them.

Don't see where Sess would fit in at Liverpool. They have two incredible young fullbacks and a terrifyingly good front 3. Spurs perhaps as an apprentice.
