Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Madrid derby - transplanted to Milan and dressed up rather nicely for the Champions League final.

LIVE: Eurosport's Tom Adams in the San Siro

DID YOU KNOW? Zidane can become the seventh person to win the CC/CL both as a player and a coach. The six that have achieved this are Miguel Muñoz, Giovanni Trapattoni, Johan Cruijff, Carlo Ancelotti, Frank Rijkaard and Josep Guardiola (via Infostrada).

The San Siro atmosphere is already bubbling away nicely...

CRISTIANO'S CHALLENGE: Ronaldo could become only the second player to score in three different Champions League/European Cup finals after Alfredo Di Stéfano, who did it in five finals.

DID YOU KNOW? Real Madrid have kept 10 clean sheets (in 12 games) in the Champions League this season, which equals the record in the competition (Arsenal in 2005/06).

STAT: Cristiano Ronaldo has never scored in four previous Champions League games at the San Siro (via Opta Joe).

One last word from Diego via Atleti's official Twitter account...

Zinedine Zidane: "I don't think it'll be a failure if we lose. Failure can come from a bad attitude and if we cannot replicate what we have done in the past that would be a failure, but it's a game of football. All I can say is we are very ready for the game, ready is the word."

Diego Simeone: "There is no such thing as revenge in football, or in life for that matter, just new opportunities. 'Revenge' is a negative word, because it harks back to a defeat; on the other hand, 'opportunity' is about optimism, confidence and what's to come, and that's what we want to show in the Champions League." He added: "We've been working on our style of play for the last four and a half years, with particular emphasis on our level of intensity. Many people drive themselves mad trying to get their players into that state. Even with the changes that have taken place, we've always kept up the same level of intensity.... We've already played two of the top three teams in the world and now we're facing the third in the final."

Ronaldo full of swagger. He was an injury concern before the 2014 final in Lisbon too, so there's more than a little sense of deja vu about this showdown. Speaking ahead of the match, he told the press: "Cristiano always appears in the games that matter. I'll be at 100%. On Saturday, I'll be in better form than I was in Lisbon."

STAT: Eleven of the players starting tonight also started the #uclfinal in 2014 (six for Real, five for Atletico (via OptA Paolo). Real beat their neighbours 4-1 aet.

VIDEO: Top 10 CL final moments

Thanks to Tom Adams for whetting the appetite over the past couple of hours. Paul Hassall here to take you through the final build up and the live commentary of the match. Now we've digested the team news, let's test your knowledge on previous CL finals. Do you know your stuff? Happy to say I got top marks (needs to get out more...)

Atletico pretty much as expected with the one selection poser seeing Simeone select Savić instead of José María Giménez. Unsurprisingly, Torres starts on what he has described as the 'most important' game he will ever play in as he bids to win his first major trophy with his boyhood side. He said: "This is different, this is special. It's what I wanted when I was a kid, more than I dreamed. Without any doubt it's the most important, special and lovely game of my life. Anything I can do with the club that gave me the chance to start my career, the team I was a fan of since I was five years old, is different to anything else I've won."

CONFIRMED ATLETICO MADRID XI: Oblak; Juanfran, Savic, Godin, Filipe Luis; Koke, Gabi, Augusto, Saul; Torres, Griezmann.

So nothing out of the ordinary for Real Madrid. Casemiro was described by Simeone as Real Madrid's most important player yesterday and he anchors in mdifield, allowing Kroos and Modric a bit more freedom either side of him.

TEAM NEWS!!!! This is the Real Madrid XI: Keylor; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Modric, Casemiro, Kroos; Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo.

What the hell has Michel Salgado done to that car??
