Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid Team News
Cristiano Ronaldo is fully fit and he is likely to start the match, but Raphael Varane is definitely out of contention through injury. Full back Alvaro Arbeloa is a major doubt and he will be assessed on the match day. Coach Zinedine Zidane has no other injury worries ahead of the Champions League final and he is likely to stick to the 4-3-3 formation.
Injured: Raphael Varane (7/0)
Doubtful: Alvaro Arbeloa (2/0)
Suspended: None

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
Al leyes will be on Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milano when the two Spanish giants square off against in the Champions League final. Last time out Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 4-1 in the title game and, no doubt, los Rojiblancos are hungry for revenge. Anyhow, considering that both teams have been impressive at the back in the elite competition this season, there is every chance we will see a low-scoring affair at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. A man to watch in the home team will be Cristiano Ronaldo, who has overcome his injury, while Real Madrid defenders should find it hard to contain Antoine Griezmann, who is enjoying a season to remember.
Betting Tip: Under 2.5 goals
Odds: 1.60 (3/5) @BetVictor
