Haha, cracking effort from Simeone, would have conked Varane if he hadn't ducked.
are people complaining about the best player in the world being a bit arrogant?
Ronaldinho wasted half his career because he didn't have Ronaldo's drive, Henry was accused of being miserable and allof because he played the same time as the smiling Ronadinho, Messi, yaeh I'll give you that one, but if Ronaldo is on a constant crusade to prove how great he is, I doubt his manager's are complainingDayum Baby! Its not about being arrogant per say you all have to have a bit of belief in yourself but its the extent of Ronaldos arrogance that makes him dislikeable, he comes across as incredibly insecure and is on a constant crucade to prove how great he is. Unlike for instance Messi and the Henrys and Ronaldinhos of the past who did it with some humility. x
Dayum Baby, I really hate this Ronaldo redemption rubbish. He is still exactly the same player at Man U all the cheating, arrogance, showboating, fancying himself all included. Yet there is a change in attitude within the footballing world and i seriously believe he has had an influence in this attitude that has trickled down to young kids playing football rather than being a good grafter and working for the team you can see most youngsters are all trying to have the Ronaldo attitude of "i am better than the team".
And i now i hear people saying they hate Messi and Love Ronaldo, ironically these are the shaved sides haircut sporting types who wear tight shirts and knowledge of football is dependent on who is good on Fifa and who has the best tricks on youtube. I cannot possibly see how you can prefer Ronaldo to Messi, regardless of talent Messi is humble, hard working and does what is best for his team. And he can do it all without being a unbearable obnoxious twit that Ronaldo has proven to be.
I watched the second half in the pub and i observed many people looking intently at the screen biting their fingernails with a sense of a dread, i was in the same situation as well hoping that Atletico can hang on, and then Ramos scored the same people erupted in a mighty cheer and i was baffled? You want Real Madrid to win? perhaps the most despicable team in world football out side of Liverpool, the most expensive squad ever assembled? the team that gets privileges from the spanish government while the rest league is just told to rot? The team that uses its privileges to bully other teams into selling their best players and ruining them consistently for years on end? against their long suffering rivals who would of overcome all odds and been the top of europes elite for a great moment in their history? is this what society has become? I might need to go back and watch the Rocky Movies again because i don't remember myself rooting for Apollo. Do we now celebrate the bullies and the arrogant over the fairytale? Are we now so dictated by materialism that we want european domination but snides like Ronaldo and Real madrid? Just another step in the decline of football culture
Do you watch football or just base work ethic on who's arrogant and famous? Because I tell you what 9/10 Ronaldo will be one of the hardest workers on the pitch.

Don't get all the fuss over Ronaldo's celebration tbh. He'd just scored in the CL final in his home city, how dare he celebrate a bit.
If Everton won the European Cup in Ireland over Liverpool and Coleman got the goal, I certainly wouldn't be opposed to him celebrating it. The crazier the celebration the better
Souness on his soap box

He's pretty short sighted. One of the reasons is pretty much impossible to retain the trophy, or even win in a few times in a short period of time is because of the fact that 2, 3 and in some cases, 4th placed teams are allowed in. It's not like back in his day. The games moved on Souness, which is why you're out of a job
