Cristiano Ronaldo is free to take his place up top for Real Madrid as Atletico go with Stefan Savic over Jose Maria Gimenez in the Champions League final.

Raphael Varane’s thigh injury makes him Madrid’s only absentee, so it’s Keylor Navas in goal, with Pepe partnering Sergio Ramos in central defence and Dani Carvajal and Marcelo in the full-back positions.

Casemiro anchors Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in the middle of the park, and in front of them are the ‘BBC’ of Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, the latter of whom has shaken off a training-ground clash with Kiko Casilla in time for the match.

Atleti, meanwhile, line up with Jan Oblak between the posts, Juanfran and Filipe Luis in the full-back positions and Savic – not Gimenez, who has been a first choice up until now – partnering Diego Godin in the heart of the back four.

A narrow midfield four of Saul Niguez, Augusto Fernandez, Gabi Fernandez and Koke then picks itself, along with the forward pairing of Antoine Griezmann and Fernando Torres.
