CL Final

[ecc]

Four Real players, Carvajal, Kroos, Nacho and Modrić, stand to equal Gento's record of six EC/CL winners' medals.

Carlo Ancelotti can extend his own record of winning the trophy on four occasions.

Come on Dortmund

[Poulton-le-Claret]

According to the football weekly podcast, Dortmund had 400k ticket requests for the final unreal support.

Free to watch on Discovery+ (no, me neither until today) with a no-fee signup, probably at a cost of receiving a dozen e-mails a day until the sun envelops the earth.

All the European competitions have been on Discovery from the start of the season. It’s TNT sports which had bought BT Sports last year.

How did you get on in Munich?

Thanks for that- appreciated

This is a tough call for me, 99.99% of the time I root for the underdog which is obviously Dortmund. However one can't ignore Real's record in this tournament, it really is remarkable how they find a way to win.

Real to win 2-1.

I doubt if any of the 4 players mentioned would have caught up with Gento on the pitch.
From memory (somewhat distant now) he was lightning quick.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Real team announced early:

Real Madrid XI: Courtois, Carvajal, Rudiger, Nacho, Mendy, Valverde, Camavinga, Kroos, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr.

Subs: Lunin, Kepa, Militao, Alaba, Modric, Joselu, Vazquez, Tchouameni, Ceballos, Garcia, Ibahim, Guler.

[Pickles]

The Dortmund fans in London have been phenomenal.

[Sheedyclaret]

I thought this was free to air on discovery plus if I am sky q customer now being told i have to get tnt sports for 28 quid a month when I open the discovery app?

[Swizzlestick]

You can definitely watch it for free on the Discovery+ app. Doing it right now.

[Sheedyclaret]

That’s what I thought im being asked to pay for tnt sports

you can watch it here, the build up is on now.

[dougcollins]

Are people still harping on about the EPL being the 'best league in the world' when we haven't even got a representative in the Champions League final on home soil?

[Rick_Muller]

I logged into the app on my sky Q box and no need to pay

[Sheedyclaret]

I logged into the app on my sky Q box and no need to pay

Yeah I’ve done that says free to air on discovery then directs me to tnt sports to pay a subscription via a QR code

[Rick_Muller]

Yeah I’ve done that says free to air on discovery then directs me to tnt sports to pay a subscription via a QR code

Not sure then but I’m watching for “free”, but I do have a subscription for sky sports - not sure if that matters

[Rileybobs]

Having the same issue. It says ‘you’ll need access to TNT sports to watch this content’. Incredibly frustrating. If anyone finds a work around could they please post.

[claretburns]

Which option are people selecting?

There are two, one which is UHD which you need a subscription for and one which is free. Link below shows the two options:

[daveisaclaret]

Not 100% on this but I think if you watch through your Sky box it will ask you to sign up for TNT sports. If you watch on the Discovery Plus app on your smart TV or on their website you can watch for free.

Yeah I’m trying on discovery + app on my tv but issues a QR code to tnt sports for subscription but says free to air so annoying

[Rileybobs]

I’m the same as sheedy, trying to access via the discovery + app on sky Q. I’ve got an account set up and the game is showing as free, but when I click on it it asks me to subscribe to tnt.

[Tricky Trevor]

Good luck, Ian Maatsen. Take a winners medal home.

[CoolClaret]

WTF is that pre game show about? Can the money men just leave the game as is without commercialising and turning everything into a cheesy knockoff? Crikey.

[jos]

And to think Maatsen had an option to stay at Burnley, silly boy

[Awayfromburnley]

I’m the same as sheedy, trying to access via the discovery + app on sky Q. I’ve got an account set up and the game is showing as free, but when I click on it it asks me to subscribe to tnt.

Same for me too.

Iam tech savvy, it's either not working or a ruse to get people signed up to pay "by accident"

Ridiculously fiddly.

[Rick_Muller]

Not sure why or how, but I seem to be able to watch on my Sky Q box on the discovery + app after logging in using the QR code on screen. I had to log in on my phone browser to the Discovery + website though. All working for me and appears to be free.

Andy Gray on 'TNT Sports coverage'.

[distortiondave]

Why don't they show pitch invaders anymore? I know they haven't done for a few years now, but don't know the official reason or when it started.

[CoolClaret]

I think it's as a deterrent so that they won't get any exposure for doing a pitch invasion.

The link from the QR code is now broken on Sky. Seems like they can’t handle the traffic.

[Pearcey]

I’ve literally just done this. All good.

[dsr]

If you have the sports package on Virgin, it's channel 524.

[distortiondave]

Fair enough, I guess? It doesn't seem to have prevented pitch invasions, though I admit I've not done a course in the whys and wherefores of pitch invasions, so what do I know?!

[dougcollins]

WTF was he doing there?

[distortiondave]

The guy with the big hair should have scored then.

[HahaYeah]

He zigged when he should've zagged.

[distortiondave]

Should be 1-0 yellows

[ClaretTony]

It just allowed me in. Have you selected the free option once in Discovery +.

[Vegas Claret]

got to take your chances in a game against Madrid

[jos]

You wouldn’t want to be stood behind one of those massive flags the Dortmund fans are waving having spent a fortune to attend.

I have TNT but still have to login, using the QR code, whenever I access discovery+ on sky.

[distortiondave]

Real Madrid win these games as a general rule, so you can't be squandering chances like that.

[Tricky Trevor]

So many matches RM are average and then Modric comes on and they end up winning.

[distortiondave]

I would! You can watch the game later, but you can't be part of that atmosphere from a distance.

[timshorts]

If that tactic worked, then maybe they need to stop cluttering the airwaves with programmes about serial killers.
I can't think of a match that I've been at that has had a streaker but no TV cameras, though.

[Rileybobs]

It’s just started working, thanks. Followed exactly the same process I have been trying on and off for the past 45 mins. Clearly an issue with sky - the issue being reported by hordes of people on Twitter.

For anyone previously having trouble, try again and hopefully it will work. You may need to follow the QR link a few times before it works.
