Upsetting CR7's hairdo might upset his game

This is a final in which the most mentally prepared team will come out the winners.

The Real Madrid fans relax and laugh after seeing San Lorenzo suffer in the semifinal.

If 'El Ciclon' [as San Lorenzo are affectionately called] had lost against Auckland, all the press throughout the world and all the other Argentine football fans would have split their sides laughing at us. And it would have been quite right to do so. But that didn't happen and so, whether some people like it or not, these lads from Boedo are not this week's joke; but we are all free to carry on laughing as long as we want, that's fine by me.

San Lorenzo has in Matias Lammens a passionate, honest and astute president. Thanks to him and his team, this club from Boedo, although it may seem impoverished without the astronomical budget that Real Madrid enjoys, is solvent both on and off the pitch.

We shouldn't let Ancleotti and the Real Madrid press provoke us. This highly respected Italian manager has been a little arrogant by saying that the reason Ronaldo didn't score against Cruz Azul is that "he is saving a goal for the final".

The only reaction that such a comment deserves is to try to upset the Portuguese goal-scorer in the final. If they mark the Real No.7 well, maybe upset his hairdo a little in the first fifteen minutes of the game, it will be enough for him to have one of his frequent poor performances in the big games.
