And the kopites had better behave.
The Paris cops don't like English fans, they remember Leeds wrecking a stadium in the past.
They'll probably have the CRS riot squad on standby and we've all seen on telly what they do when let loose.

Leeds 1975 against Bayern if my befuddled memory is right?

*Not my work.
 

Usually I would be far more confident on Madrid holding their nerve to do RS. To a man this Madrid team is one of the weakest in a decade though, and they would be relying on lighting striking for the fourth time, given how they got out of jail in each of the knockouts.

I can see them rising to the occasion in a neutral venue, but expect RS to be more clinical than Peps lot over the course of the game. City - RS would've been 50/50, but we're relying on Madrid luck/performance of their lives or a RS collapse for this not to go one way in the end.

Could end up being 3/4-1 to the RS, and we'll never heard the end of how they beat the mighty Madrid in Paris as a "proper" final. FFS

I don't think so Real Madrid have a history and heritage, that dwarfs that of the rs. Granted their La Liga win probably had a lot to do, with Barcelona financially imploding, but i think Real Madrid will get the job done.

Madrid are the kings of that competition - I'd back them from a holding their nerve and pedigree perspective. Just think the percentage chance of them doing the RS is lower than City - RS/City are both scared of each other, and a similar level and it would've been cagey as [Poor language removed].

I'd trust Madrid to do the job over the rs, way more than i would City! As much as i admire that Man City side, they are serious bottlers in europe imo.

Well no one wants trouble but.... not seeing them in Europe few a few seasons would not be the worst outcome.
