Champions League Open Thread

After a very emotional day yesterday, you’ve undoubtedly risen out of your bed this morning to read a lot of scattered noise: Real Madrid are evil, the referees robbed Bayern, etc. Here’s your chance to turn your brain off a bit. You can talk about whatever you like, or vent with a longer leash than normal from the MM mods. I imagine you’ll shift most of your discussion towards today’s Champions League clashes though, and if you’re feeling extra naughty, you can mass tweet Gerard Pique some dots throughout today’s match and beyond.

In Case You Missed It

• Valencia-based journalist for Yahoo Sports UK, Andrew Gaffney, and I recorded a Churros y Tácticas podcast earlier this week in which we talked about Marcos Llorente’s fit with Real Madrid next season, among other things.
• I’m writing a book about Real Madrid. Chime in here.
• Gabe and I recorded a post-game podcast where we discussed Zidane’s subs (and more). We’d really appreciate it if you subscribed and also rated us on iTunes. It would help us be more visible when people search for Real Madrid podcasts! Maybe this can be your task at half-time today? Oh man, that would be so dope of you.

OK. Have fun, and be safe.
