Fears raised over Champions League final pitch at San Siro

“It would be good if Zizou [Zidane] continues for some time and that they maintain the players they have today”.

Champions League has it’s own TV pool too, and the clubs will divide up almost €500 million in TV revenue next season.

However, the 25-year-old has revealed that he would even reject Zinedine Zidane’s Real Madrid in favour of staying at Vicente Calderon.

UEFA’s Senior Match Operations Manager says San Siro’s pitch isn’t “up to the level it needs to be for the Champions League final”. They were denied the trophy by a late charge by Barcelona, which won five straight to secure its second consecutive title, and sixth in eight seasons.

We started badly, we fell 13 points off the top, but we’ve managed to close the gap right up until the end and finish just one point behind.

Real Madrid defender Nacho said the best way to silence outspoken Barcelona centre-back Gerard Pique is by winning the Champions League final next week.

Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid couldn’t be more opposed to the Barcelona-model in terms of style, but their rock-solid defensive structure has stifled Europe’s best.

“I wasn’t born to coach but Zizou, yes”, Beckham said.

Afterwards, Dalton, whose speech outlined UEFA’s requirements for Champions League matches and also European Championship games, added that he was sure the pitch would be ready but UEFA wanted it to be ideal for the final. I don’t know why he’s going on about titles when on May 28 it’s us who’ll be playing for the most important title of the season. “He knows his socios and his fans”. “We had hope, which is the last thing you want to lose. If they didn’t sign such players, everyone would criticise them”.

“Both are unique, just like Zizou in his day”. The season is a very long one and Barcelona must be congratulated for having collected a point more than us.

Seeing Barcelona lift the La Liga trophy over Real Madrid was a bit easier
