5.Atletico Madrid will relish the chance of a revenge
An all-Madrid final means Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will meet in the championship deciding game for the second time in the space of three years. But the latter won’t have fond memories of the earlier meeting.
Just seconds away from their maiden European glory, Los Rojiblancos succumbed to an equaliser from Sergio Ramos in the dying embers of the match and never recovered from it as they went on to lose 4-1 to their more illustrious rivals.
Now, fate has presented them with a chance at redemption, and Diego Simeone’s troops would not want to miss out. The Lisbon heart-break is still vivid in their memory, and only a revenge will heal the pain.
Real Madrid have been warned.
