It's the final everyone wants to see, and Real will be hurting at the moment.
The bookies will still have Real as slight favourites but it's too close to call. The form book has us as the unstoppables, but you only have to look at Madrids squad to see, they can blow anyone away on the day.
Ahmed also comes into this one with a bit of pressure on his shoulders, the fans and board demanding they win silverware.
We've approached the EFL board, asking for a change of ref, we really don't think Wiley is strong enough for such a big encounter, so our looking for someone bigger.
It really is in the balance.

Good final and Bayern take the trophy, well done John, I had you absolutely written off as contenders this season, fantastic achievement and definitely your greatest triumph as Bayern boss, amazing treble !
Proved me wrong and I take it back, Bayern seem to always be able to come back when it matters.
Unlucky Ahmed, you definitely have the team to win every competition you enter, I am sure there will be many trophies for Real Madrid over the next few seasons, but this season belongs to Bayern.

Congratulations John and Bayern Munich! like Gazza says, this has been a season to remember for Bayern there are loads of quality teams and managers in this game and its not all about luck, John is the most successful manager in EFL for a reason, and season after season he steps up and delivers. its easy to lose interest and neglect your squad, but to continually keep it at a level to be competitive in all competitions season after season you need to be a good manager Well Done

Congratulations John, no one really gave you a chance at the start of the season but you've proven again that you can compete and win while rebuilding.

Unbelievable treble, I'm in shock!
Like all else we had written off our chances this season and our aim was to reach a final, so to win everything is amazing.
More so the fact that the treble has only ever been done once but we were the big guns then, now we were possibly not considered top 2.
Last season was our first season in years that we had won nothing, so this really does make up for that, even though we had a decent year last year, without the silverware.
On to the game and we really have been on fire this second half of the season, think we were on top pretty much most of the game and the 2-0 result was a fair one. Early on I thought the weak ref might spoil things but we kept on our game and got stuck in.
The first goal was always going to be important and once we got that we packed the defence, my only possibly mistake was going C instead of L but we seem to thrive playing the C tactic regardless of losing the bonus or not.
Unlucky Ahmed, your time to dominate will come, but it's my job to stop that any time soon and let the new guys on the block catch up and keep this game as exciting as it is.
I feel my job is now done at Munich, and I have nothing left to prove but I want to keep making records that will never be broken.
