    I will put my money on both city and Atletico to win. Kevin De Bryne is in the form of his life while Simone has everything he needs in the team to win.

    If you want to survive on this Dutch forum for long, I strongly suggest you never mention the name Iniesta again

    I don't know what's happening in the dutch formation centers, I don't know how they're working actually so I can't speak on this. I can only see the product of their work, which is being terrible.

    Now I believe the KNVB should do what the russian federation did last year : Ask the clubs to focus on the formation of yong players and stop buying foreigners for a while. Or at least reducing the amount of belgian and scandinavian players and give priority to the dutch ones.
    The russian federation asked this in order to prepare the WC2018 which will be in Russia, cause the last results of the NT were just bad and the country barely produces good youngsters.

    A club like Dinamo Moscow sold like 10 foreign players in two years. And yeah, the club sucks this season but at least they're using some russian youngsters which is good for the russian NT.

    That's what the dutch clubs should do too, to prepare EC 2020 and WC 2022 with the generations 95-2000.

    Seriously? The Maniche goal in the 2006 WC match against Portugal in the knock out round.

    Why can't Ajax play like Dortmund? Dutch clubs need better and more aggressive managers!!

    WOW!!! Was that ever an exciting match. I thought Liverpool was dead and buried. This was like that comeback in the CL some years ago when they were down and came back to win it. Cannot ask for a better game than this one.

    Very tight,could be centimeters.hard to call from that angle. But the defender at the back seems to be keeping him on. Very tight I would say.

    Kind of have that with EPL teams. They have the money advantage, so I tend to root for teams with less money.

    ^^Yes, this certainly shows how money is impacting things these days. I think that the French league has not been all that successful in recent years either. I wonder about the long term viability of Italian clubs other than Juve these days.

    Naaaaa, atletico has the best defence compared to all three.I expect atletico to be in the final especially after what they did to Barcelona. Bayern, defence is vulnerable, could be their weak spot. City and real.i think De brine form could be influential for city and as for real, they were lucky vs Wolfburg as their sloppy defence paved way for them to reach the SF.

    You're right about that defence, but I just wanna see Robben in one more CL final before he retires (assuming he makes it back from injury)

    Assuming Ramos and Pepe don't get Red cards, Madrid will easily defeat ManCity whose defense is just not good enough to prevent Madrid from scoring a couple of goals in each match. Zidane will not let them play like they did in the first Wolfsburg game.

    Bayern don't have quite the same attacking quality as Barca and we saw how Athleti shut MSN completely down. Again, we have a team (Bayern) whose defense is questionable and Griezman has great technical ability to find openings. I can easily see two 1-0 wins for Athleti.
