I know this isn't the place for Conference League discussion but since someone brought it up today I saw the prize money structure. More money for Europa teams (less prize pool but less teams also so bigger cut) and then now millions also for Conference group winners. Total can be 9 milllon euros for Conference League same as Europa. Maybe even we will see more teams fight to qualify for Champions League and don't mind to drop to Europa or Conference?
Oh and welcome Villareal:)

Can't wait for the final really, I'm all set with 4 good friends we'll be having a poker party before the game and then we'll eat some nice thai food and watch the match. We have 4 different bets for the game (four different correct scores) and who gets closer to the final result chooses who's gonna pay dinner for all.
I picked 2-1 for Man City

If UEFA decides to eliminate Real, Barcelona and Juventus from the competition, they will be replaced by Real Sociedad, Betis and Napoli.
Champions League without the champions, without its best teams will have another taste.. Those 3 clubs also condemned UEFA and brought it in Madrid's courts for abusing its position. I think everything will end with a simple fine without having any team kicked from any competition. Personally, I don't think a court in Madrid has jurisdiction over UEFA, probably just a Swiss court.
It seems to me, judging by the statements of the leading people in UEFA, that there is a strong possibility of drastic punishment for Real, Barcelona and Juve, as examples for other clubs in the future.
There is a big stake in the game, and whoever wins this fight will still lead the game in the future.
~Snip~ I Just Seen News That Says Sergio Aguero Specifically Hopes To Play Full-Time In His Last Game. Just as you said, Sergio will play in the match, but not for Full-Time.
Pep Guardiola will give Sergio Aguero playing minutes in the UCL final as a tribute to the legend, Sergio Aguero was an important figure when he brought The Citizens to their first title in the Premier League. Currently Manchester City only leaves Sergio Aguero as the only player who has ever participated in The Citizens success in winning its first English Premier League title. If The Citizens can win UCL this year it will be a very beautiful farewell for the legend. 
Yes i think as well the Chelsea also has a big chance in this final from counter attacks. They got some really good players with huge speed to do that.
Man city finally made it to the final with all the money they invested into their team but this will be hard to them because Chelsea already beated them last time for me this is an equal game can go either way
Chelsea failed in Champions League final and it takes a several seasons in the semi-final rounds before the season they won first Champions League. Chelsea became the biggest and most competitive clubs in Champions League before that season. Manchester City have never built up a good position like Chelsea.Man city finally made it to the final with all the money they invested into their team but this will be hard to them because Chelsea already beated them last time for me this is an equal game can go either way
They can not play well and make domination in Champions League like Chelsea. I think Manchester City and PSG are the same, they will not to repeat their success in last 2 seasons in a few more ones. When they feel they are giants in Champions League, they will win it. Now they are not too much confident with what they can achieve.
Yes, Sergio Aguero is rarely Pep Guardiola's top choice this season, maybe that's also the reason he wants to move to another team that can use his services regularly.

Aguero is a legend in Manchester City and if he can score a goal in the final and win the trophy, it will be a very happy ending for him in the club. Aguero helped Manchester City won their first Premier League with late goal from the key pass of Balotelli.I Just Seen News That Says Sergio Aguero Specifically Hopes To Play Full-Time In His Last Game.

Will it be repeated in Champions League final? One more late goal from Augero and the first Champions League for Manchester City.
As for Aguero, I think he will be played by Guardiola too, but not for full time. He will only be played a few minute before the match end because so far Guardiola has rarely used his service. I will welcome him to Barcelona next season.

Please don't say that Kepa is better than Edouard Mendy
Everything Can Happen On The Field, But 95% Sure Manchester City Will Be The Winner.
The Blues Is Loser Everytime
Kepa was once the best, maybe all there is a time to get down and look bad. Likewise Mendy I think he will have a period like Kepa.Please don't say that Kepa is better than Edouard Mendy

It looks like you are a Manchester City fan. Indeed, if you look at the Manchester City aspect of play, it looks better. But remember Tuchel made Chelsea more effective. He was able to win even though he didn't control the match. City should be wary of Chelsea's counterattack. We wait 4 days to see the results.

Manchester City will be very unstoppable in the final match later.
I firmly believe Sergio Aguero will be played in that match and it will be his last game with Manchester City before moving to Barcelona.
FYI, Sergio Aguero officially moves to Barcelona next season.
I hope that's what will happen in the final in the next few days. I think the preparation for the final have been well done by both team and me with Manchester City there. As for Aguero, I think he will be played by Guardiola too, but not for full time. He will only be played a few minute before the match end because so far Guardiola has rarely used his service. I will welcome him to Barcelona next season. I firmly believe Sergio Aguero will be played in that match and it will be his last game with Manchester City before moving to Barcelona.

It's going to be interesting Champions League final match and I would give a slight advantage to Manchester City but not like bookmakers suggest.
Chelsea managed to win 1:2 recently and they also beat Chelsea in FA cup, so I am giving both teams 50-50 chances, and small details and tactics will decide who will win.
Chelsea can defend very good and I would not be surprised to see draw, extra time and penalties.
I don't expect to see many goals in this match but good thing is that we Estadio do Dragao will have 16500 supporters.

I'm giving 60 to 40 chances to be honest. Because I still see City as a little more favourite than Chelsea in the final game. Yeah, maybe Chelsea beat them twice this season. But this is the Champions League we're talking about. City will also be much more concentrated on the game for the title. They are much more effective on offense that's for sure. Because Chelsea have players like Havertz and Werner as strikers. And they are not good enough this season I'm afraid. I think Chelsea will try to wear City players out and blindside them.

I doubt Aguero will be in the starting eleven in the final match this Saturday, he might join at the end of the game as a honor for his services with City OR less likely might play the first half only.I firmly believe Sergio Aguero will be played in that match and it will be his last game with Manchester City before moving to Barcelona.

Guardiola is taking this match very seriously, a war that should be won by his fighters and he will pick the best and most ready ones.
After Madrid lost I chose City to win. I only see Chelsea in the final FA and EPL is really sad. They lost and failed to win for the FA cup. I thought they would be mentally affected a little bit, so I asked a friend who bet on Chelsea if they still believe Chelsea will win? Although I believe Tuchel has the effective play he has worked on in the previous few games, they don't play the ball much but can win. I think Tuchel's upcoming game will play like that.

Manchester City will not give up the chance to become champions after reaching the final, and I'm sure Manchester City players also really want
to win the Champions League. Especially Aguero will give his best performance as a farewell gift for Man City fans, because Aguero decided to
move to Barcelona next season. Although I am very optimistic that Man City will win the match against Chelsea, but Chelsea is not a weak team,
and managed to beat Man City in the last meeting in the Premier League. So Manchester City have to be careful of Chelsea's very fast counter-attacks.
Angry Chelsea who lost the F.A cup to Leicester and have not won any cup this season, will be playing against Manchester City who won the Premier League this season, in the Champion League final. I bet, the game will be very tough, but City can't easily beat Chelsea. Nevertheless, only 3 Premier League teams have won the Champion League title since it was formed. Which are Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea.
I understand that there is a good amount of chance Chelsea will be fighting tooth and nail this match because they lost FA but they are not playing a low level team neither they are playing City there and that is why there is a big chance they could still lose big time there. This is the same club that lost to Leicester on FA cup and if they fight even more they could win that game, if they played 10 games against Leicester they would win more than half of those games, this was a freak game that they ended up losing.However City is not like that, Chelsea vs City game would be basically 8 times City, and that low chance of Chelsea winning would have to be this game and at the top stage, if it was just a regular season game that would be understandable but I doubt that it would be possible for them to make it at the finals of the champions league.

The Champions League final is different from other final matches. Remember the game Milan - Liverpool. After the first half 3-0 and no one believed that Liverpool could win. But they did it. In this match it will all depend on the players. Who wants this more. he will win the cup.
It was a very extraordinary final match that will never be forgotten how can it be forgotten because even, Milan's first goal was scored in the 1st minute by Maldini and the assist was Pirlo. At that time even though the two teams played their best squad but in my view Milan had better players in every position, but the never-ending mentality in Liverpool's camp made the match ended on penalties and then Liverpool came out as winners.But it is a team with a squad that has been formed for a long time with solidarity that has been around for a long time, so of course they have a burning spirit. Unlike the final match tomorrow, we know that Chelsea with their new coach do not have enough time to build a more solid team, and therefore I still believe that the final match tomorrow will still be won by City.
The Champions League final is different from other final matches. Remember the game Milan - Liverpool. After the first half 3-0 and no one believed that Liverpool could win.
At that time Liverpool was behind 3 goals in the half time. After seeing his team slaughtered by Milan, the Liverpool coach (Rafael Benitez) immediately changed the formation he would use in the second half, from 4-2-3-1 to 3-5-2. The formation changes made by the Liverpool coach gave them positive results so that they have come out as champions.In this match it will all depend on the players.
I totally agree with what you have said, but you must not forget the role of the coach are also very important in a match.~snip~
But currently, they only play against weak teams like Chelsea, so what is their problem right now? Nothing!

Every match always depends on the players whether it's a regular game or not. How is this Finals different? Yes the managers can draft plans and make tactical changes during the match but everything is decided on how the players on the pitch performs or execute.
