Either to win, it's a great advert for English footy, never give up

I'm not fussed either way, to be honest. I know plenty of fans of both teams, so it'll be interesting watching the 'banter' from both sides before, during and afterwards.
As for comments about fans of the eventual winners not stopping going on about it – I completely understand that. Why wouldn't they? If Brighton won the European Cup it stands to reason that a LOT of supporters would claim to hold the high ground in the footballing stakes.

I couldn't give a flying **** either way, but will be enjoying the spectacle. Hope it's a thriller.

Neutral. I think it will be a bit of a damp squib after the semi finals.

Spurs all the way. Gotta go for the underdogs.
I think it will be funny that a club that has only won one trophy(and the league cup at that) in the 21st century and haven't won the league for nearly 60 years can be crowned the Champions of Europe. Kind of highlights exactly what the champions league is about.
Also, that Brighton Kop bollocks. They can **** right off, they're an enormous shit stain on our town(if they actually exist and aren't just a media fabrication).

I think I'm going to get behind the bin-dippers if only because this could well mean City winning the league and Liverpool the UCL - the perfect end to a shite Man Utd season.
In reality, I don't care that much. I'm just happy as long as Portsmouth don't go up. Leeds falling apart again would be splendid too

Seems a bit of a faff making everybody slog over to Madrid for this now.
Can't they re-arrange it for St Andrews or bet365 Stadium or something?

would like to see Spurs win it
only because it will be another English teams name on the European Cup
how many would that be 6 I think
can't see the Spanish and Italians catching that record

Especially when the fans are only getting 17,000 tickets each when the stadium holds over 60K.

Champions League is the wrong title. That said, it is still the elite competition. I wish there was just one rather than two but it would involve too many matches.
I did feel that there should have been a tournament for just champions but I realise that the time for allowing Shamrock Rovers to play in a more prestigious tournament than Real Madrid needed to end.
European football has been outstanding this year. BT Sport well worth the investment.

Oh , Palace didn't make the final then , hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ok i'll choose spurs but they will be overrun 4-1 ishly
Yep, at least if Liverpool win they won't brag about it. Hopefully they'll win the league too and we'll have a peaceful summer without old friends reminding us that they're actually Liverpool fans, in case you'd forgotten.

It has to be Spurs. Remember just 6 months ago the billionaire breakaway European League line-up was leaked with Arsenal and Man Utd named as two of the core seven teams organising the thing and Chelsea, City and Liverpool also invited.
Their attitude to Spurs is "Your name's not on the list, you're not coming in" so it would be funny if a 'lower tier' club were to end up winning UEFA's biggest prize.
