It's being shown in VR via YouTube, so you should be able to watch it on PlayStation VR there using the PS4's YouTube app.
lol wtf is this shit, man?
I will be fucking mad if we lose
And the criminal organization that Juventus are deserve nothing, Madrid are the only ones that deserve it, football would be a marginal sport without our greatness, we make life better
HALA MADRID!!

It would be nice for Juve to win because of Buffon but I'm just hoping for a good game.

The fact you're playing damn good football probably helps. Plus I don't want Zidane to be the first man to retain the CL within his first two seasons as a manager. That's just too much.

I want a Juve win for Buffon and Alves. Madrid press is unbearable all year long, a CL win is too much to bear.
They won 5 in a row in the 50s, brush up on history as to why.
P.S.: What's with the Yankee-centric date? /triggered

Ironically all of those that made it to the end were runner-ups. That said, seven years rule (one different italian wins the UCL every seven years since 1989), and if we were to look at how the cup unfolded (Real's is second luckiest run of all time after ACM in 2003) Juventus, assuming no last minute defections, should walk all over Real, which is about the same as 2015-16, a bit more savvy in the midfield but nothing special, while Juventus is extremely stronger on the offensive end while getting even better in defense.
Sadly, Juventus would choke even if it was Juventus vs Juventus in Juventus Stadium, so we'll see. I still think Real has absolutely no say in the matter, even as an 11 times champion. It's more about Juventus suiciding itself and letting them steal the cup (which is what happened in 1998 by the way) than anything else. I also think if they don't win now they will never ever win the cup again for as long as Juventus exists, if they win chances are they could very well go on to match Ajax and Bayern in the 70s over the next two seasons.

Sorry Juve fans but you are up for another disappointment, you are not even in the same league as Real (as much as I hate to admit).

4-0 Madrid.

Also, not sure why it's Juventus vs Real Madrid, should be Juventus vs Cristiano Ronaldo, considering how Real Madrid has been dependent on his goals this season in the CL.

correct about everything
only against bayern and the first game against atletico. he's scored only 2 goals in all other games.

Heh, yeah.
Fuck Buffon, he had his chances to get the CL and didn't, we're not a charity team giving away CL opportunities. I love Buffon, but why would I want some other team to win?
Isco has to start this in a diamond formation, with Ronaldo and Benzema as strikers. Casemiro is going to be key, helping out the flanks to help Marcelo and Carvajal.
Modric, Kroos and Ramos need to have the game of their lives, I'm hoping Zidane sets up something special.

Wouldn't mind Juve winning just to make those ignorant Premier League dipshit pundits shut the fuck up about how Serie A isn't a quality league anymore. Real becoming the first team to retain the title in the modern would be poetic as well considering their history. I'm a Madrid fan but all things considered, both teams would be worthy winners.

Rooting for Juve!! Two reasons, most important one is because Buffon needs that trophy!! And second, Real beat Bayern... :/

Crap, thought it was tonight.
Can't wait to watch my fourth Juventus Final and they crash and burn in my face again.T_T

Calm down, it's just a different date format.
It's a wrong date format alright.
A date format used in a heathen country that barely cares about football.

Please don't do this.
How many of the X fans on here are even from X?

Footy isn't like American sports that are tied to the hip to geographical proximity for fanning a team
teams are composed of international talent from all over the world.
some follow top players from their home country even if they play in a different country,
many Portuguese people follow Real just because CR7 does well there; just like when he used to be in ManU
some people like the historical organizations of good clubs
some are just bandwagon jumpers and bellweather fans

Big clubs have a lot of international fans. A team like Spurs for example will have mainly English fans.

Even Blablurn would have admitted Madrid were the far stronger side.
How would Franco have helped them in Europe? He didn't. Moreover, he used the club for political purposes far after their European success.
