Preview: Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid

Sports Mole previews the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that attacking duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale will be fit to start against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final.

Both had been nursing minor knocks, but after the two most expensive players in the world took part in training this week, Ancelotti has revealed that they will feature against their city rivals.

However, both Pepe and Karim Benzema face a race against time to be fit for the showdown in Lisbon, while Xabi Alonso is suspended.

Atletico Madrid still have doubts over Arda Turan and Diego Costa, despite the pair returning to training in the past couple of days.

Both Turan and Costa were substituted early on in their side's 1-1 draw with Barcelona last weekend, a result that saw them win the La Liga title, but the club remain hopeful that they can feature on Saturday.

Atletico will be looking to win their first European Cup, while Real haven't won the competition since their victory over Bayer Leverkusen in 2002.
