UCL final : real madrid vs atletico madrid, LET THE MATCH BEGINS
Atletico Madrid are in search of their second trophy in
Lisbon at 7:45pm after clinching the La Liga through a
superb run of performances. They are likely to be
without their star striker Diego Costa, Nevertheless,
Simeone is confident his players are prepared for the
challenge that lies ahead.
Diego Simeone’s side broke the Barcelona-Real Madrid
hegemony and now stand to win their first Champions
League trophy. Only their bitter rivals Real Madrid
stand in their way, who themselves are desperate to
claim the title. Real Madrid are hungry for that elusive
decima – 10th European win [1956, 1957, 1958, 1959,
1960, 1966, 1998, 2000, 2002 and perhaps 2014] .
Atletico, known as “the mattress makers” after their red
and white-striped shirts, and Real, who play in all-white
and are nicknamed “the meringues”, have met only once
before in continental competition, in the European Cup
semi-finals in 1958-59.
Who will be crowned the European Champions
2014?
