Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid will face off in the Champions League final later this month in a rematch of the 2014 Championship title game.Back then, Real Madrid took home a lopsided 4-1 win that was altered by a last minute goal from defenseman Sergio Ramos, tying the game after defender Diego Godin scored the first tally of the tilt.
The 2015-16 Champions League final is set, and it'll be a delightful rematch of the 2013 final. The Madrid Derby: Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid. These two bitter city rivals battled two years ago in the final, and on May 28, it's a chance for revenge for Atletico.Real Madrid is through after getting past Manchester City, and Atletico beat Bayern Munichto move on.
It's a bitter, physical rivalry filled with hatred, and what a match it should be. Real Madrid likely enters as the favorite, but based on this year, could Atleti finally get its first UCL crown?
Real Madrid beat Atletico 4-1 in extra time in the final two years back to win its 10th title, but so far this year, Atletico has been better when the two have played. Having met twice in La Liga, it was a 1-1 draw at Atletico on Oct. 4, and then Atleti won at Real Madrid on Feb. 27 1-0.
The final is on May 28 at the San Siro in Milan, and it's hard to think of a bigger matchup than these two giants.
