Despite Borussia Dortmund being in control for the first 17 minutes, it was Real Madrid who scored first. After what seemed to be a clear handball that wasn’t called, Cristiano Ronaldo fired a fast shot toward the far post to give Real the lead. All better!

The UEFA Champions League returned on Tuesday immediately providing us with great goals, saves, and drama. When the dust settled and the final whistles were all blown, there were really no surprises. Barcelona and Bayern Munich both blew out inferior opposition at home, while not surprisingly PSG vs Arenal and Atletico vs PSV Eindhoven provided […]

Watch: Messi completes his hat trick as Barcelona rout Celtic

0 comments by

Celtic are a team that are capable not only of being exciting to watch but also punching above their weight class, when they play at home. When they travel away from Celtic Park, especially in the UEFA Champions League, to Camp Nou of all places it doesn’t usually end well for them. They did a […]

I don’t think anyone was surprised when it took Lionel Messi less then three minutes to open his Champions League scoring account at home to Celtic. What may have surprised people was that Celtic didn’t immediately melt away like many expected them to. Instead they hung in there giving Barcelona a match. 20 minutes later […]

The UEFA Champions League is back and we were hardly able to take our seats (or fire up the streams for those still at work) before the goals started flying in.

When the draw for the second round of Champions League qualifying was done, Celtic fans were probably confident heading into a two-legged tie against the champions of Gibraltar, Lincoln Red Imps. After all, despite a 14-year run of domestic titles in Gibraltar’s 10-team first division, the gap in talent between the two teams is a […]

It was starting to become desperate for Atletico Madrid. Antoine Griezmann missed a penalty early in the second half and Simeone’s side was pushing hard for an equalizer.

There hasn’t been much action for either side in today’s Champions League final, but Real Madrid has looked the more comfortable side. They have looked especially comfortable and dangerous on their set pieces. It was from such a play that Sergio Ramos scored to give the 10 times winners a 1-0 lead. Real Madrid won […]

Atletico Madrid’s history in the UEFA Champions League Final

0 comments by on 5/27/2016

Atletico Madrid’s history in the Champions League Final isn’t as rich as the team they are going to be facing on Saturday. Real Madrid has been to more finals since 2000 than Atletico Madrid have been to in their club’s history. That history is much more heartbreaking, however. Two finals appearances, one in 1974 and […]

Finally, after a long, hard-fought road to Milan, the Champions League final is here! And like it was in 2014, the European champion will be Spanish and from Madrid, but the question everyone is asking is: will it be Real or Atlético that will hoist the European Cup and will represent UEFA in the 2016 […]
