The weekend musing is back after a bit of a break.
This week Chris looks at the Champion’s League final and Arsenal’s appointment to replace Arsene Wenger.
I did not watch the Champions League final last week, but I did see the highlights and low lights! For the record, Real Madrid won its 13th European Championship establishing the Club as one of the greatest of all time. Winning however, didn’t stop Real’s manager, Zinedine Zidane from leaving for greener pastures.
The Gareth Bale scissor kick was an absolute cracker, but the two howlers from the Liverpool keeper, Loris Karius, were a modern tragedy. No one means to make those sorts of mistakes, but I have 
not seen anything like that first goal when his throw was intercepted – not even when my boys were playing under age matches, let alone at the pinnacle of world club soccer. I agree with Jurgen Klopp that the second goal he conceded was as a result of the first one. I must say I feel sorry for the keeper as it doesn’t matter how many games he wins and how many trophies he collects, from now on he will always be known for those howlers in the final.
Good to see the new Arsenal manager named last week in Unai 
Emery. I was not across all the names mentioned as likely candidates for the job but I am sure the former Paris Saint Germain manager was only mentioned very late in the search. His record is good and fingers crossed he invests a bit more time in the transfer market and stiffening up the defence for next year.
Have a great weekend!!
Another three winners for the Professor last week and he is out after a bigger haul today. His fancied horses are running at Caulfield and Rosehill today. Both Caulfield and Rosehill tracks should be rated as good with the running rail in the true position. While not a selection for the ladies, I do like Mantastic in Race 3 at Caulfield.
