Juventus v Real Madrid

No real allegiance to either team as they are both cheating foreigners, but I would like Juve to win for old man Buffon.  Any man who gets a hair style named after him is OK in my book.  And I would like to see Ronaldo in crocodile tears again.

Fair result in the end, it mainly came from the old way of football - if you get your shots away there is always a chance it will hit something and go anywhere.

Sergio Ramos is a disgrace to football though.

Juventus fans watching the Champions League final stampeded in a Turin piazza in panic after mistaking firecrackers for an explosion or gunshots.
About 400 people were being treated for injuries, Italian media reported. About five people were seriously hurt, including a 7-year-old boy who was trampled, Sky TG24 reported.
Thousands of fans had gathered to watch the Champions League final in front of a giant screen in San Carlo Square.
During the second half of the match, which local club Juventus went on to lose 1-4 to Real Madrid, video cameras show a sudden rush in the middle of the crowd that caused a surge that flung people against barriers.
Many fans then began to run out of the centre of the square, screaming in fear. 
The panic may been started by the explosion of a loud firecracker that was mistaken for a bomb, a witness said.
Afterwards shoes and bags littered the ground, people were seen limping and searching desperately for friends and relatives.
Police have set up an information point to help people find their loved ones, and they are investigating what caused the panic.
“I saw the entire piazza went in the direction next to the screen to escape, all in a panic,” Associated Press reporter Brian Hendrie said. “They ran, fell on the ground on the glass.” He said some reported having heard a small explosion, others a shot. “I heard five or six different versions. It sparked a panic.”
Within minutes, dazed fans in Juve’s black and white jerseys returned and milled about the piazza amid the broken bottles and rubbish littering the cobblestones, with the match largely forgotten.
The square was evacuated so quickly it was left strewn with sneakers ripped off people’s feet as they ran.

“The root cause of this was panic, to understand what triggered it we will have to wait a while,” said local official Renato Saccone, the prefect of Turin.
Police said around 200 people needed hospital treatment with five of them in a serious condition. Some injuries occurred after a railing around the entrance to an underground parking beneath the square gave way under the weight of the crush.
Local media cited older Juventus fans present as saying the panic had evoked painful memories of the 1985 Heysel disaster in which 39 mostly Italian fans diedwhen fans were crushed by a collapsing wall before the start of that year’s European Cup final, against Liverpool.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading the Guardian than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help, especially during this UK election.

So for the strength of our democracy, for the voice of the young, for a credible, independent check on the government, this contribution was pretty good value for money.
