TEAM NEWS: Ronaldo fit to start Champions League final


Real Madrid have named a full-strength side for the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid as the Blancos aim to win the competition for an 11th time.

The only doubt in Zinedine Zidane’s line-up was whether Cristiano Ronaldo would be fit to start after limping out of training earlier in the week, but the Portuguese has been named alongside Karim Benzeman and Gareth Bale up front.

As expected, James Rodriguez and Isco are both only on the bench with Casemiro and Toni Kroos joining Luka Modric in midfield.

Real Madrid: Navas; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric; Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo.

Subs: Casilla, Danilo, Nacho, Isco, James, Jese, Vazquez.

Atletico Madrid: TBC

Subs: TBC
