THE FINAL

The date is set in Milan. We have a rematch on our hands, Real Madrid will face their city rivals Athletico Madrid on May 28th. Last time they faced each other in the final in 2014 Real Madrid walked away with the silverware. This marks the seventh time in Champions League history that there is a rematch in the final and Athletico Madrid is going in hot. The last time the two teams faced this past year Athletico dominated in a 4-0 match that showed Los Blancos they're a force to be reckoned with. Cristiano and his team are heavy favorites with their stacked team, but Athletico shows that defensive teamwork and fast counter play can be effective. The final will be an interesting one and I hope Athletico Madrid pull off an upset and win the champions league trophy.
