Better than the final 2 years ago although that is not saying much.
Carrasco was brilliant when he came on and that really changed the game. Extra time was more even although Real players were dropping like flies for some reason while Atletico seemed to have the upper hand. Yet apart from their goal I can't think of any great chance they produced despite their good play. On the flipside we a couple of set pieces and 2 clear chances where we should have finished it. Casemiro was massive for us and beside Ramos he was our best player. Koke was underwhelming but Gabi was massive as well. Way too underrated a player and fantastic leader.
Ronaldo was poor and Benzema seemed enthusiastic. He tends to take a while recover his form after injuries. Bale did well and was only the one creating things on his own and if the other two had been up for it he could have done even more.
Clearly thus team still needs tidying up to do but considering that I figured this would be 6 months of transition a Cl trophy isn't too shabby an outcome.
