A few excitable people on social media are now speculating that Gareth Bale WILL start tonight.
That would be a turn up for the books and go down like a lead balloon with the Madrid media and some fans. Isco has been the man of late.
Juventus are worried about Gareth Bale being on the bench. Isco can cause a lack of defensive organisation but if Bale comes on when they are tiring, he could cause real problems.
Alex Sandro is gifted but he can switch off and that is who Bale will come up against. There could be mistakes, and Bale and his pace could be the difference maker.
The atmosphere in Madrid has been building all day. Over the last two hours the fans have been gathering outside the Bernabeu, singing, chanting and setting off fireworks waiting for the screening of the match. This place is expected to be close to a sell out come kick off.
There is nothing more Juventus than to lose a final. Psychologically they want to make a statement.Six lost finals - it cannot be seven.
It would be a huge mistake to sell Gareth Bale. He has sacrificed a lot of his game for Cristiano Ronaldo. He plays with the handbrake on at times, he looks terrified that if he doesn't look for Ronaldo he will be criticised.
He is good enough and young enough to be a leader of this Real team in the future.
