They arenā€™t a vintage Real team but the bottom line is that PSG ( French champions ) , Juventus ( Italian champions ) & Bayern Munich ( German champions ) all lost to them over two legs.

They are now in the final where they will play either also rans in the EPL or Serie A .

The important result of the night is now in.

Bayern won 2.5-2.2 on Xg so, added to their comfortable first leg Xg victory, the combined Xg result for the tie was:

They thumped Atletico Madrid on Xg in the semi final two years ago.

That was the one I was thinking of alright. I think that was the first time Iā€™d ever heard of expected goals

They didnā€™t even need that fat bastard Ronaldo to play well

291

Heā€™s saving himself for the 2020 final when Real are going for their second five in a row.

Ronaldo is a strange strange man, his team were after going ahead 2-1 last night and his head went down. Ballon dā€™Ors mean more to him than team trophies.

A bit like that Swedish bollox that played for utd. Nowhere near as bad though

Cristianoā€™s got the lot my friend, he can afford to choose.

295

I recall him sprinting back to dispossess a chap in his own half at 2-1, passing it to a team mate and then making an another explosive sprint forward to take the return pass and then having his shot blocked for a corner. I was in awe of his commitment, power and athleticism.

296

You were in awe cos he won a corner after a bit of hard work?

297

remember bandage is a portly goalkeeper, so yeah

298

Impossible to fake that sort of drive, endeavour and selflessness. A great team player. A winner.

The two back-to-back 80m sprints were among the most explosive Iā€™ve ever witnessed on a football pitch. The endurance and speed at that stage was breathtaking. It was totally contrary to the fake news you posted about a man sulking.

Ronaldo is noticeably more of a team player in big CL games and has been for years. Thatā€™s all I had to say @myboyblue
