There will be a new dimension to the UEFA Champions League final in Lisbon as Real Madrid take on Club Atlético de Madrid in the first one-city showpiece.
The UEFA Champions League final will take on a new dimension as Real Madrid take on Club Atlético de Madrid in Lisbon – the first showpiece between teams from the same city in the 59-year history of the European Cup.
• This is the fifth one-country UEFA Champions League final and, having come out on top in the first 14 years ago, Madrid have cause for optimism as they seek their tenth European crown.
In contrast, this is only Atlético’s second European Cup final appearance yet, as the last unbeaten side in this season’s competition, there is no danger of them being underestimated at the Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica.
