Here's your Champions League Final drinking game
Make the big match go with a bang (and a trip to A&E)
Champions League football! On telly! And it’s free(ish) to watch!
Yes the football season is reaching its “proper” end this Saturday as Real Madrid face Juventus in the Champions League final in Cardiff from 7.45pm (available for free on BT Sport's website, Youtube or BT Sport’s Showcase TV channel).
It promises to be a proper barnstormer of a final too, with best-in-the-world defence Juventus trying to repel the probably best-attack-in-the-world in Real. So like the proper irresponsible adults we are, we've created a drinking game to thoroughly ruin your weekend and get you in the true big match spirit.
Remember to drink responsibly folks. Try and have a pint or two of water at half-time too. This gets pretty grisly….
Here's the simple stuff, take a sip of your drink when….
