It’s been a very long road for all 32 participants. In the end, only two remain and the finalists are both from Spain’s capital. When both teams met, two seasons ago, the rich neighbors destroyed the underdogs’ party thanks to Sergio Ramos’ injury time equalizer which pushed the game into extra-time. From there, the battle totally shifted in favor of Los Blancos with Angel di Maria, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo waking up to the challenge.
Revenge is on the minds of Diego Simeone and his squad. They will fancy their chances; after all, 2016 has proven to be the year of the underdogs and come-from-behind triumphs with Leicester City claiming the English Premier League title and Juventus rising from the bottom half of the table to lift the Scudetto in Italy. In any case, one thing is certain: between Atleti and Madrid, one team will be forced to finish the season trophiless.
Meanwhile, it is being claimed that Zinedine Zidane has not faced a real test in the UEFA Champions League so far, having been paired with clubs like Shakhtar Donetsk, Malmo FF and Wolfsburg whereas Atletico Madrid possess massive victories against defending champions Barcelona and German heavyweights Bayern Munich under their belt. Who deserves to be crowned winners in Milan and who will actually claim the prize? The answer will soon be revealed.
