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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?!

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

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

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.

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.
