Real Madrid and Atlético are ready for UEFA 2016 Milan final

 Antoine Griezmann grabbed the crucial away goal as Atlético were beaten 2-1 at Bayern but progressed as the aggregate score finished 2-2

For the second time in three years the UEFA Champions League final will have a strong Madrid flavour as Real Madrid and Atlético meet at the Stadio San Siro in Milan.

 Two years ago the teams met in Lisbon – the first final fixture involving clubs from the same city in European Cup history. Atlético led 1-0 deep into added time, only for Madrid to equalise and go on to win 4-1 after extra time, thereby lifting their tenth European Cup – 'La Décima'.

This is the sixth one-country UEFA Champions League final with Madrid having won two of the previous five – against Valencia CF in 2000 (3-0) and Atlético in 2014.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored four and Karim Benzema three as Real Madrid equalled the biggest UEFA Champions League victory by crushing Malmö 8-0

Aside from 2014, Atlético's sole other European Cup final came at the Heysel Stadium, against FC Bayern München in 1973/74. Luis Aragonés's 114th-minute free-kick gave them a 1-0 lead, but Hans-Georg Schwarzenbeck equalised in the last minute and Bayern prevailed 4-0 in the replay at the same venue two days later.

Should they triumph in Milan, Atlético would become the 23rd club to lift the European Cup and the first new name since Chelsea FC's 2012 triumph in Munich.

This is Madrid's 27th UEFA final. In addition to their 13 European Cup appearances, they were UEFA Cup winners in 1985 and 1986 and European Cup Winners' Cup runners-up in 1971 and 1983. They lifted the UEFA Super Cup in 2002 and 2014 having lost in 1998 and 2000, and won the European/South American Cup in 1960, 1998 and 2002, losing in 1966 and 2000.

Atlético won the UEFA Europa League in 2010 and 2012 and lifted the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1962, losing in the final of the same competition in 1963 and 1986. They claimed the UEFA Super Cup in 2010 and 2012.

Antoine Griezmann's first-half double gave Atlético the perfect start with victory at Galatasaray

Previous meetings

This is the teams' fourth European Cup tie. Their first international fixtures came in the 1958/59 European Cup semi-finals. Madrid won the home first leg 2-1, Héctor Rial's goal (15) and a Ferenc Puskás penalty (33) overturning Chuzo's 13th-minute opener. Atlético prevailed in the return thanks to Enrique Collar's 43rd-minute effort.

That meant a replay six days later, played in Zaragoza, where Alfredo di Stéfano's early goal was swiftly cancelled out by Collar. Puskás struck the decisive blow three minutes before half-time to take Madrid into a fourth successive final.

The teams at La Romareda on 13 May 1959 were:

Madrid: Domínguez, Miche, Santamaría, Lesmes, Ruiz, Zárraga, Mateos, Kopa, Di Stéfano, Puskás, Gento.

Atlético: Pazos, Rivilla, Callejo, Mendiondo, Chuzo, Calleja, Miguel, Agustín, Vavá, Peiró, Collar.

It was 55 years until their next meeting, in Lisbon on 24 May 2014. Diego Godín's header (36) gave newly-crowned Spanish champions Atlético the lead, and it looked as if that would be enough for Diego Simeone's side to claim their first European Cup – only for Sergio Ramos to level at the last (90+3). Carlo Ancelotti's Madrid ran away with it in extra time thanks to goals from Gareth Bale (110), Marcelo (118) and a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty (120).

The lineups at the Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica were:

Real Madrid: Casillas, Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Fábio Coentrão (Marcelo 59), Khedira (Isco 59), Modrić, Di María, Bale, Benzema (Morata 79), Ronaldo.

Atlético: Courtois, Juanfran, Miranda, Godín, Filipe Luís (Alderweireld 83), Tiago, Koke, Gabi, Raúl García (Sosa 66), Villa, Diego Costa (Adrián López 9).

Pepe and Álvaro Arbeloa were unused substitutes for Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo struck twice before Real Madrid held off a Shakhtar fightback to win 4-3

That result made Ancelotti only the second coach to win three European Cups following his successes with AC Milan in 2003 and 2007; Liverpool FC's Bob Paisley (1977, 1978, 1981) is the only other manager to achieve the feat. Ancelotti was the fifth coach to win the competition with two different clubs.

Madrid also came out on top against Atlético in the 2014/15 quarter-finals. After a goalless first game at the Vicente Calderón, Madrid's Javier Hernández headed the only goal of the tie in the 88th minute at the Santiago Bernabéu, the visitors having been reduced to ten men by Arda Turan's 76th-minute red card.

The teams at the Vicente Calderón on 14 April 2015 were:

Atlético: Oblak, Juanfran, Miranda, Godín, Siqueira, Mario Suárez, Koke (F Torres 83), Gabi, Arda Turan, Griezmann (Raúl García 77), Mandžukić.

Real Madrid: Casillas, Carvajal (Arbeloa 85), Varane, Ramos, Marcelo, Kroos, Modrić, James, Bale, Benzema (Isco 85), Ronaldo. 

Ángel Correa struck first but Atlético were eventually stunned 2-1 at home by Benfica

At the Santiago Bernabéu on 22 April 2015, the lineups were:

Real Madrid: Casillas, Varane, Pepe, Ramos, Fábio Coentrão (Arbeloa 90+1), Cavajal, Kroos, Isco (Illarramendi 90+3), James, Hernández (Jesé 90+2), Ronaldo.

Atlético: Oblak, Juanfran, Miranda, Godín, Jesús Gámez, Tiago (Giménez 86), Koke, Saúl Ñíguez(Gabi 46), Griezmann (Raúl García 65), Arda Turan, Mandžukić.

The sides have met in 202 league, Spanish Cup and Spanish Super Cup games, with 102 Madrid wins, 51 for Atlético and 49 draws. Atlético, however, are unbeaten in eight domestic games against their local rivals since losing the 2014 UEFA Champions League final, recording five wins and three draws.

In this season's Liga fixtures, Atlético drew 1-1 at home to Madrid on 4 October 2015 with Karim Benzema's early goal (9) cancelled out by Luciano Vietto (83). At the Santiago Bernabéu, on 27 February, Atlético's Antoine Griezmann scored the only goal after 52 minutes – Zidane's first defeat as Madrid coach.

The teams have contested five Copa del Rey finals, Atlético winning four. Most recent was the 2013 showpiece at the Santiago Bernabéu when the Rojiblancos won 2-1, Miranda's extra-time goal sealing victory after Cristiano Ronaldo's opener was cancelled out by Diego Costa. Ronaldo and Atlético captain Gabi were sent off as Atlético ended a run of ten successive defeats against their neighbours in all competitions. Atlético were also triumphant in the 1960, 1961 and 1992 finals, Madrid winning on penalties in 1975.
