2 season ago, both RM teams were in the final. The soccer team won vs Liverpool, while the basketball team lost the EuroLeague final.
Nonetheless, we should be really serious in Saturday

Madrid lose to Olympiacos in the basketball euro final.

 

Panathiakos

 

Tough loss, but if one Rea Madrid team to lose in the final, I would rather have the basket team.

 

It's Panathinaikos guys at least get the name right they are a very big team in Euroleague. Generally as Greek I would enjoy a Greek team winning a European trophy but Panathinaikos in basket and Olympiacos in football are the worst. Still will be rooting for Olympiacos to win against Fiorentina in the Conference final though.

 

Giannis was in the arena rooting for Panathinaikos.

 

Of course, his brother plays there.

 

Mad respect, easy for him to sulk or feel hard done by with things turned out for him here being benched by the backup to the guy he was supposed to replace at Chelsea. Instead he was an amazing presence in the dressing room and was a real leader. Seems like a nice guy, really hope his career trajectory lifts.

 

if Lunin decides to leave Kepa is trying to keep the door open to stay as the backup?

 

I'm perfectly ok with that outcome.

 

Anelka: from rebellion to being the key to defeating Bayern in the 1999-00 semi-finals

I’d rather have someone promoted to the backup GK role than Kepa basing from what we’ve seen of him.

 

Yeah that sounds about right about Greek fans. Same thing happened with the team that won the league in football. And to think they've only won it 4 times in their history and they were fighting each other during the celebrations.

 

Anyone else having a bad feeling before the CL final? We will be big favorites which means that we will have lots of possession and will have to break the bunker. BvB will be very dangerous from the counter attacks. They are the underdogs and have nothing to lose and consequently they will be more relaxed. Our form is quite poor too. We haven't managed to win the last two matches and we looked disjoined and very poor against Betis with the lineup that will probably start the final. Missing Tchouameni is huge. He is that anchor that protects the midfield from being vulnerable. I don't trush Camavinga on DM. That's just not his position and he doesn't do well there.

 

The bad feeling was against City and for good reason. Bayern less so but still knowing Tuchel’s side can be dangerous.

This one should be the easiest one on paper. Mind you anything can happen, 90/120 mins, bad day etc etc. But under normal circumstances, we should win this.

 

Bellingham and Vini gotta wins this for Ballon d'or candidacy

 

If Kroos wins the Euro for Germany, you know he's most likely would win the award.

 

Anyone in London, fan park is Victoria Embankment

“Real Madrid will be providing a programme of club entertainment to build the atmosphere throughout the day. Expect live music, football on the big screen and fellow Real Madrid supporters getting in the party mood!”

 

Do you know if this is just Saturday or will they have anything on any days leading up? Annoyingly I'm in London this week but leave on Friday.

 

To be fair, Greek is a damn complicated language, give the guy a break, lol.

 

They have someone on with the Friday.

Rudimental are playing on Trafalgar Square but tickets all sold I think. But festivals are still on with the European cup on show etc.

Download the Champions League app and it tells you what’s on etc.

 

After you posting this, I now have a good feeling.

 

Rodrygo: "Ego in the locker room? For us, the young players, it is easy, because if I see Modric, 38 years old, with five Champions Leagues and a Ballon d'Or running from the corner to the box, how am I not going to run? There is no ego in our locker room." pic.twitter.com/kcZ6IgEnM7
