I’m in Greece atm. My daughter lives here with two of my grandchildren. My grandson is an AEK supporter - they mostly are in the little town we are in as most people here are descended from greek people who were evacuated from Turkey in exchange for greek Muslims in the 1920s. (The K in AEK stands for Konstantinople). Last night the bars around the sea front were full of red and white - my grandson and all AEK supporters are devastated that not only have Olympiakos won but they did it in their stadium !! Olympiakos are generally the most hated team in Greece, mainly because of the bad reputation of the owners. He won’t want to discuss football with me today !!
On a different note we don’t go into Athens very often but it is a city well worth a visit outside of July and August. Very touristy but good atmosphere and interesting history. Stay away from certain areas like Omonia though. Choose wisely from the menu and you can eat well even in the centre very reasonably. We don’t eat out often but rarely pay more than 30 euros for both of us including a kilo (litre) of wine.

My mate who is from Thessaloniki and is a diehard PAOK fan hates Olympiacos aswell and says the same. He says that they are cheats and he hates them as much as Aris who are PAOK's city rivals.

Thanks, PAOK, that's who I saw AEK play against, I'd been racking my what's left of the brain cells to remember

I’ve just found out that unlike previous seasons, tonight’s Champions League final won’t be shown free on YouTube. Is there anywhere else anyone knows is showing for free?

Discovery don't have the rights for it, and anyway you'd have to have a subscription for the + , so nothing is free, and why would it be? Well at least if you're outside the uk.

Real Madrid hot favourites but to be honest they were very fortunate to get past Man City,
Worth a cheeky bet on the Germans?

They weren't good in the first leg v Bayern either but they did look much better in the second leg They are obvious favourites however if they don't play like they can then yes Dortmund could win Expecting Bellingham and Vinicus Junior to make the difference

Real Madrid are such a lucky team. Time after time I watch them and somehow they manage to scrape through games despite the opposition being the better side.
Dortmund could be a couple of goals up but feels like another one of those nights.

Great dive by the Dortmund keeper there, he will get a move to Madrid with those antics, timed to perfection

That's a terrible decision from the referee, Madrid should be down to 10 men.

Great dive by the Dortmund keeper there, he will get a move to Madrid with those antics, timed to perfection An even better dive by Vinicius Jr. I’d have sent him off for that alone. Disgraceful.

If VAR isn't being used to tell the referee that Vinicius jnr dived and the Dortmund player's yellow card needs to be rescinded then there really is no point to it and it proves that it is just being used to suck the joy out of the game game and rule out goals for players being millimetres offside.
