Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid: Start Time, TV Coverage Guide and Predictions

A Madrid derby will settle the UEFA Champions League for the second time in three seasons. Atletico Madrid are out for revenge against 10-time winners Real Madrid after Los Blancos won in extra time in the 2014 final.

Yet Atleti are looking stronger headed into this year’s final at Milan’s San Siro stadium, as manager Diego Simeone’s squad got past Barcelona and Bayern Munich en route to the tournament’s climax.
