CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL FOR GIANLUIGI BUFFON, THOUGH, HIS FACE - AS EVER - SHOWS EVERY EMOTION RUNNING THROUGH HIM AND ITS HEARTBREAKING.

92' Madrid are walking this - Morata tries an ambitious shot from nowhere and gets absolutely hollered at by his teammates. You lot have already won, calmaaaa!

Share

Marcelo recovers that blocked freekick, whisks past Mario Lemina like the latter doesn't exist and smacks in a lovely pass that Marco Asensio smashes in with no hesitation. Lovely goal.

You can't but feel heartbroken at seeing Buffon's face, though

89' The excellent Modric does ever so well to draw a  foul off Alves - Ronaldo sends it into the wall, but it doesn't matter....

Share

3 min ago

88' Alvaro Morata comes on for Toni Kroos - could this be the Spaniard's last game for Los Blancos? More pertinently, it now gives Madrid a target to aim for when hacking clear.

87' Real Madrid are sitting deep now, smartly so, and Juventus simply can't find a way through - Alves tries to get onto the end of a Khedira ball, but Navas is out quickly to smother

85' Bonucci lifts a superb ball into the box but Mandzukic's header to Higuain is too meek to reach the Argentine. Ten Men Juventus are still trying valiantly - though Higuain's wild hack is no way to go about doing it

Share

3 min ago

83' Sergio Ramos flies into a superb tackle on Juan Cuadrado and then shows his ugly side by diving after a mere touch from the Colombian. The ref inexplicably shows him a yellow - that's his second - and he's off. Disgusting from Ramos, though

81' Juve move forward and Dani Alves sends in a lovely little freekick that Alex Sandro guides a whisker away from the post. Zidane meanwhile gives young Marco Asensio his first taste of a big, big, final as Isco gets taken off to a standing ovation. The dancing Spaniard played a brilliant hand.

80' On the pitch, meanwhile. Ronaldo races in beyond Chiellini and tries to set up Bale but Bonucci gets a leg in.

Share

4 min ago

79' There's news filtering in from Turin that an absolute horror has unfolded in Turin at the screening where there were 60,000 in attendance at the San Carlo square and a sudden stampede has just taken place. Will keep you up to date on what's happening. 

Share

6 min ago

77' Karim Benzema is taken off of after a typically selfless performance and local hero Gareth Bale trots off. Allegri's mental fragility is there for all to show as Paulo Dybala (the only one in black and white with the streak of magic that could have saved them) is taken for Mario Lemina.

Share

7 min ago

76' Isco Isco-s his way past Dani Alves and the Brazilian is pulled up for a tug on the dancing Spaniard. 

Share

8 min ago

75' Modric, Ronaldo, Isco, Kroos, Benzema.... passes are exchanged with swift certainty before the Frenchman's final is cut out by Bonucci. Marcelo's follow-up is wild and sails into Cardiff city central. 

Share

11 min ago

73' OW OW OW! RONALDO! Benzema toys with Alves, sits him down, and lays the ball off to Marcelo. The left-backs pass into the box, though, is way too strong for anyone and it careens off Ronaldo's shins and into row Z

Share

12 min ago

71' Ronaldo is loving this at the moment - he starts accelerating from the half-way line and Juan Cuadrado pulls him down. That's a yellow for the Colombian

Share

13 min ago

70' Juventus move forward - but it all ends with a wild Alex Sandro lunge on Raphael Varane. That's a yellow. Meanwhile, Pjanic is taken off for Marchisio


69' Ronaldo tries to turn provider - but his cross is awry and it's just a goalkick

Share

2 min ago

67' Real Madrid suddenly look utterly in command. That's what a two-goal cushion does for you. Zinedine Zidane has thoroughly outsmarted Allegri in the second half till now. Brilliant from the Madrid boss.

Share

4 min ago

65' Miralem Pjanic goes into the book for a frustrated challenge on Ramos. Allegri meanwhile heaves the kitchen sink on to his shoulders and throws on Juan Cuadrado for Andrea Barzagli.

Share

5 min ago

CRISTIANO RONALDO! CRISTIANO RONALDO! CRISTIANO RONALDO! The little magician Luka Modric whipped a ball past Sandro and into the box where the King had arrived, ghosting past any markers, and smashed an unstoppable shot beyond Buffon. Sublime goal

60' Real Madrid continue employing the squeeze on Juve and the Bianconeri can barely get out of their own half. 

Share

3 min ago

59' Isco let's fly from distance - and why not - but his shot lacks in direction what it had in power and intent. 

Share

3 min ago

58' OH MY!!!! Some superb passing opens up space for Marcelo who curls in a delightful little ball thatt evades the twin fortresses of Bonucci and Chiellini but bounces just a couple of inches over Ronaldo's outstretched boot.  

Share

4 min ago

57' Madrid are squeezing Juve further and further into their own defensive third. More intricate passing precedes a burst of pace by Varane, but the Frenchman is cut out by an alert Chiellini.  

Shaust now

53' What a wonderful little passage of play. Isco, Carvajal and Marcelo all have nice parts to play as Luka Modic is set up for a left-foot shot that hammers into the grateful Buffon's gloves. 

Share

2 min ago

52' Toni Kroos goes into the book for a foul on his fellow German Sami Khedira - truth be told, it looked harmless. Zidane's bald pate is probably hot enough to boil water at the moment. No Glasgow kisses now, Zizou, calma!

Share

3 min ago

51' Boy that Dybala has some quick feet - he shuffles past two purple shirts like it's nothing - but ref calls play back for a foul suffered by Dani Alves. He got stood on by Marcelo and that looked painful! 

Share

5 min ago

50' Juventus do the passing about-bit for a while as they try to draw the sting out of Real Madrid's early attacking endeavour. The ball is then lost by Higuain with a pass straight to Isco.

Share

6 min ago

49' The corner amounts to nothing, but Bonucci's been clattered into, by the ball - which smacked him on the nose - and he looks a touch dizzy... hopefully, it's not a serious concussion. 

Share

7 min ago

48' Things are definitely not calm now. Isco sneaks in behind Barzagli after a second Marcelo ball in behind the Juve right back - but the veteran does superbly to recover and limit it to a corner. 

rid pass it around the back before Marelo punts one long for Ronaldo. The Portuguese easily wins his footrace with Barzagli and somehow manages to lift in a ball into the box after the ball took an awkward bounce - but Chiellini is on hand to head it away.

45' AND NOW THE SECOND HALF BEGINS



PEEP! PEEP! HALF-TIME

JUVENTUS 1-1 REAL MADRID

What an absolutely open final - the best 45 in living memory - as both heavyweights slugged it out. Ronaldo opened the scoring with a sublime curler into the bottom corner(Bonucci, or no Bonucci, that was destined for the corner) before Mandzukic smashed in the equaliser with arguably the greatest Champions League final goal since that Zidane goal.

Magnificent stuff. More of this please Monsieur Zidane, Signor Allegri. WOOF.

Share

10 min ago

46' After more pleasing passing about - essentially harmless from Juve's point of view - Isco tries to play in Carvajal behind Sandro, but the Brazilian is having none of it. You want to know just how hard Juventus are defending? Higuain is man-marking Casemiro to prevent Madrid frrom going for the easy out ball. Yes, Gonzalo Higuain

Share

12 min ago

45' Madrid are looking threatening everytime they show a bit of patience on the ball... and just as I type that Casemiro goes for glory from nigh-on thirty yards out. If looks could kill, Ronaldo would be in jail right now

Share

13 min ago

43' Madrid stroke it really pleasantly and it ends with Carvajal sweeping in a teasing ball that just evades that salmon-like leap of Cristiano Ronaldo and ensconces itself comfortably in the hands of Buffon

Share

14 min ago

42' Dani Alves v Marcelo again - but this time the bushy haired Madrid man comes out on tops. Madrid try passing the ball around a bit to relieve the pressure they've been under for the last ten-fifteen minutes.

Share

16 min ago

41' Dani Alves is straight up against Marcelo in this new fangled Allegri system and he's getting the better of his left-footed compatriot. Madrid are losing it a bit as they lose sight of the bal - Carvajal goes into the book for yet another foul on Mandzukic

Share

17 min ago

40' Mandzukic hobbles back on. Khedira powers through the middle in that awkward, strong, style of his.... and the ball is worked out to Pjanic - whose good looking volley is blocked well by Varane

Share

19 min ago

38' Mandzukic is down hurt after a proper old-school 50-50 with Dani Carvajal and the Croat is in need of some serious medical attention. Can the magic spray work its, erm, Magic?

Share

20 min ago

37' Thankfully (for the referee's sanity) - Bonucci manhandles Varane and it's a freekick for Real Madrid

Share

21 min ago

36' The delivery is typically vicious, and Real Madrid can't really clear their lines.Il Bianconeri are properly on top and are getting the rub of the green here - a ball goes off Alex Sandro, but it's a corner to Juve

Share

22 min ago

35' It's getting a lot more physical now - Benzema and Pjanic go up for a ball, and the Bosnian is felled by the Frenchman. Another freekick that Pjanic will look to send in

Share

23 min ago

34' Dybala takes it and smacks it into the wall. Sigh. How can the Bosnian not have first-choice in these kind of situations

Share

24 min ago

33' Modric clumsily brings down Dybala and Juventus have a freekick in Miralem Pjanic range.

Share

24 min ago

31' OH MY! Ronaldo misdirects one of his staple headers as the ball came zooming in from Marcelo's left boot. Benzema possibly unsighted him, there.

Akash Mishra had earlier mailed in with"Reckon zidane would have been better playing James atleast as a substitute... He's been a phenomenon this season. Also quite interesting to see that nacho is the sole defensive option...so Madrid must be looking to go all out attack which will be enthralling.. Final word: Hopefully it'll be quite brilliant again to follow the match now that you'll be covering it" - it is an utterly brilliant match, Akash!

26 min ago

30' Samyak Bhartur has been in touch -Expecting Higuain to* channel his inner-Galactico and bottle up in front of the goal.El Pipita looks up for it, though, Samyak.Meanhile, Sergio Ramos goes into the book for a ridiculously rash tackle on Dani Alves - the Real Madrid captain is on a proper tight-rope

Share

28 min ago

29' Carvajal bombs forward in search of an instant response in this insanely open final, but Sandro holds his ground well. Juve recover the ball soon enough and look to move forward at pace - but Dybala gets cut down violently by a typical Sergio Ramos tackle. No yellow, and Juve are furious.

Share

29 min ago

HOLY WOW! WHAT A GOAL! WHAT. A. GOAL. Alves sent a ball into Sandro who swept it into the box, Higuain cushioned a header to Madzukic but the Croat had it all to do - back to the goal, and at the edge of the box - HE SCISSOR KICKED THE BALL IN WITH IMPLAUSIBLE VELOCITY. Stunning does it no justice

Share

31 min ago

27' GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! OH MY GOOD LORD! MARIO MANDZUKIC!

Share

31 min ago

25' ... till Navas loses the ball to Dybala. The little jewel jinks in and tries to feed in Mandzukic, but it's cut out by an alert Carvajal. The ball is moved upfield with swift venom but Isco miscontrols a superb Modric goal at the edge of the Juve box, and that's that.

Share

32 min ago

24' Sandro smacks yet another ball in from the left, but it bounces off Higuain's noggin' in a cartoonish *boop* fashion. Marcelo almost makes a hash of the clearance, but the men in purple have it in control....

Share

33 min ago

23' Ronaldo goes down under a challenge from Barzagli, but the ref feels he did that far too easily and waves his protestations away.

Share

34 min ago

22' Pjanic brings out his inner Dybala and dances past three defenders, but not past Varane. Real Madrid scramble it clear

Share

36 min ago

CRISTIANO RONALDO! CRISTIANO RONALDO! CRISTIANO RONALDO! Real Madrid counter at pace after a Dani alves mistake. Marcelo and Kroos move it foward - Ronaldo passes it to Carvajal on the overlap and gets it back where he smacks it in first time... the ball deflects off the outstretched toe of Bonnuci and flies in beyond a despairing Buffon

Share

38 min ago

20' GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! SIIIIIII!! RONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALDO!

Share

38 min ago

18' Cristiano Ronaldo lines up to shoot - Chiellini remembers what he once said about him "how do you stop Ronaldo from scoring? stop him from shooting" and proceeds to does so, along with Barzagli, Bonnuci and Alves. It wasn't a pretty sight

Share

39 min ago

17' Barzagli is playing at right back and Marcelo is absolutely loving it. He plays a sublime one-two with Benzema but can't get his cross into the box. Juventus recover the ball and Casemiro upends Pjanic. Quite naturally, the Brazilian escapes with just the warning.



41 min ago

16' Sandro tries to prompt another attack down the left, but Carvajal and Varane do enough to close him down and prompt another bit of Madrid passing. They have pressed the Juventus XI into their own half with their patient passing, here


42 min ago

15' Dani Carvajal does supremely well to get around Alex Sandro - but inexplicably the ref blows for a foul. That simply looked like a brilliant piece of play from the Spaniard


44 min ago

14' It's all a bit scrappy right now as both teams seek to establish their dominance in midfield - Real Madrid look a lot more settled, and despite a loose pass from Cristiano Ronaldo, Madrid keep on to the ball.


45 min ago

13' Marcelo smashes a right footed cross that Benzema controls magnificently with his chest, but the second touch is on his arm and peep peep goes Brych's whistle


46 min ago

12' Toni Kroos is pulled down by Paulo Dybala and the Argentine gets a deserved caution for that bit of gamesmanship - the German looked all set to spark a dangerous Real counter


46 min ago

11' Ronaldo tries to run onto a hopeful Kroos punt forward, but there is no way the Portuguese is overpowering Giorgio Chiellini.


47 min ago

10' Ronaldo gets his first material touch of the game as he cushions the ball onto the path of Modric's lovely run but for once the Croat's first touch lets him down. Dybala then shows how it's done at the other end by nutmegging Marcelo much to the Juve section of the stadium's joy - nothing comes out of it, but a nutmeg. Ole!


48 min ago

9' Pjanic is getting into the groove - he tries to pick out a lovely long ball that bounces just over Mario Mandzukic's smart run and Madrid breathe a massive sigh of relief


49 min ago

8' Marcelo tries to whisk the ball down the left, but Higuain - yes, Gonzalo Higuain - tracks back and does his bit to make sure the Brazilian has nowhere to go.


50 min ago

6' Alex Sandro looks a threat on the left, but it's his compatriot on the right that is causing all the trouble. The Brazilian swings a beauty in that is just above everyone ... but the ball works its way out to Miralem Pjanic. The bosnian lets LOOSE WITH AN ABSOLUTE HOWITZER OF A VOLLEY BUT NAVAS DOES SUPERBLY TO DIVE TO HIS RIGHT AND PALM IT AWAY. UFF! JUVENTUS LOOKS SO MUCH MORE DANGEROUS AT THE MOMENT!


52 min ago

5' Mandzukic is such a disciplined player - the striker has sacrificed himself for the larger cause and is playing a deep, deep, left midfield role. Madrid are getting absolutely no purchase in the Juve half


53 min ago

4' WOOF! HIGUAAAAAIN! The Argentine turns on a dime and absolutely blooters an attempt at goal - it's straight at Navas, but the Costa Rican simply can't hold on to the ball... thankfully for Madrid, there's no in black and white to pounce


54 min ago

3' OOOO! First chance of the match, and it had to be Gonzalo Higuain, neh? The Argentine striker is the first to a floater from Mandzukic but his header doesn't trouble Navas

55 min ago

1' Miralem Pjanic crunches into a superb tackle on Karim Benzema near the centre circle - a harbinger of things to come. This is going to be a tough, tough, game. Mandzukic tries to do the same on Luka Modric, but does so illegally and Felix Brych gives a foul
