Atletico Madrid have already played against Real Madrid in the final of the UEFA Champions League, two years ago, and Real Madrid beat them 4-1 in the extra-time. More about that match and preview you can read here.
Atletico Madrid finished the season in Primera at the 3rd position and they can’t be happy with that. Their main goal before the season started was to reach the place which leads in Champions League and they did it. Atleti failed to win their trophy in this competition in 2014 when they conceded a late equalizer and lost in extra-time. They have better squad than before and without any doubt they could be very dangerous. Despite the fact that Real Madrid are favorites to win trophy, I can’t underestimate Atletico Madrid who have amazing and very strong team. Many of their players know that they will not have many chances to play in the final of this competition and win this trophy, so they will be fully motivated to win Champions League. Their captain Gabi is optimistic and he believes that they can make another big step. “It’s the most important match of our lives.” – said Gabi for the official Atletico Madrid website.
