He took that well
no idea. I don't know if Marcelo had been injured before today, but he was definitely a big miss for them. Alonso too.
The one positive thing about tonight is we can point to players like Bale and Modric and say look what you can achieve in x amount of years if you come to Spurs, our players are coveted by the biggest teams in the world.
Having said that, I detest Real Madrid and their spoilt fans. After the way they behaved towards us last summer I'm gutted they've won football's biggest prize, behave like ****s and you'll get rewarded is the message.

Atletico rightly pride themselves on having some of the best, noisiest, most passionate fans in Spain, they also have some of the worst. Racist chanting is nothing new at the Calderon – especially not from the club's notorious Frente Atletico, the ultras who congregate in the south end, store their paraphernalia under the stands and invariably get access to tickets.
The Frente, who still glory in the stabbing to death of a young Real Sociedad fan by the name of Aitor Zabaleta over a decade ago, managed to complete almost a complete circuit of the stadium to attack Bolton fans during a Uefa Cup match last season, threw bananas at Espanyol goalkeeper Carlos Kameni and revel in their right-win politics. Pre-constitutional flags and chants of "Franco! Franco! Franco!", like monkey chants, are part of their match-day ritual as are the missile throwing and violence. It is a ritual that Uefa clearly believe has been tolerated for too long.
Atletico Madrid have been fined 10,000 euros by UEFA and had their youth stadium partially closed after racist abuse was aimed at Emirates Marketing Project players during a recent UEFA Youth League game.
Emirates Marketing Project youth players including Andy Cole's son Devante, 18, were reported to have been racially abused during the match played on Feb. 26 at the Estadio Cerro del Espino -- Atletico’s suburban Madrid training ground.
UEFA confirmed that it was handing out the punishment in a short statement released on Thursday.
“Club Atletico de Madrid Youth were charged for improper conduct of the team and racist behaviour of their supporters,” the statement said. “[The punishment is a] partial stadium closure at the next UEFA Youth League home match of Club Atletico de Madrid Youth and a fine of 10,000 euros.”*
This not the first such incident involving Atletico supporters in recent months, with Real Madrid left-back Marcelo suffering similar abuse after a Copa del Rey game at the Santiago Bernabeu in early February.
Levante's Senegal midfielder Papakouly Diop has complained of racist abuse from a section of the Atletico Madrid supporters during Sunday's La Liga game.
Diop was by the corner flag in front of several thousand travelling Atletico fans at the end of Levante's 2-0 win in Valencia and said he had been targeted with monkey chants.
Television footage clearly showed a number of supporters making monkey gestures and Diop responded by dancing in front of them, prompting a mass brawl involving players from both teams.
Surely, the ref won the game for Real. Atletico won the game fairly in 90 mins. But for some strange reason, the ref gave 5 mins injury time which was too long. I think 3 mins would have been enough as there were not many stoppages in the 2nd half. Real duly scored after the 3rd min of injury time. Atletico never recovered afer that. Annoying to see Ronaldo and Bale celebrating. They don't deserved it as they didn't look like scoring until the injury time.
Why does this forum censor stuff? Doesn't make any sense.

Looks like we could make a bit of dosh.
We do it to pay for the running of the forum. You'll have to ask Google why certain pictures and words are so upsetting.
So if you're not censoring "bad" words the page rank will be lower and you'll earn less money off the site? It's a strange world we live in.
