Real's hunt for the 10th champions league trophy is coming to an end as they take on their neighbours Atletico in the final match of the champions league tournament .
Atletico madrid are the surprise finalist of the tournament this year.with great passing football and fluent movement , atletico have slayed giants of the tournament in matchups against chelsea , and barcelona. of course we know that atletico win over chelsea had nothing to do with the athlete's ability and the real reason chelsea lost the match was their lack of strikers up front. or at least this is what chelsea manager jose mourinho believes , never mind the fact that chelsea have what some call the best offensive and defensive players in the world right now.someone needs to tell mourinho that the bubble he lives in isn't real.

Injury/team News
Athleticos first choice striker Diego Costa, and Creative attacker Arda Turan are both likely to miss the game after the pair picked injuries in the first half of their last la liga match. its not big worry however as atletico have plenty of talent to fill their roles in Adrian ,And Brazilian Diego.
Real Madrid's only concern will be the unavailability of Xabi Alonso who is serving a ban for getting booked against bayern munch in the second leg of the semi finals.
Score prediction
atletico are likely to play a more defensive game. and let real hold ball possession. as real attacking players are not so keen on tracking back, atletico will rely on quick counter attacks in order to get the edge over their rivals. this might not be wise move ,but as we saw in the real bayern match , REal madrid are very very quick n the counter, so the safest bet is sit back and hope that real get a bit comfortable.
Real Madrid : 1 Atletico Madrid : 2
