Cristiano Ronaldo starts Saturday's Champions League final against Atletico Madrid in Milan, having overcome a recent thigh strain. Real coach Zinedine Zidane has opted for the BBC trio of Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and Ronaldo up front, with Pepe and Sergio Ramos as centre-backs in the absence of the injured Raphael Varane. Dani Carvajal and Marcelo line up at full-back, while Casemiro, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric make up the midfield. Atletico have Fernando Torres up front with Antoine Griezmann, while Gabi, Koke and Saul Niguez all keep their places in midfield from the final game of La Liga. Centre-back Diego Godin also takes his place in the lineup alongside Filipe Luis, Juanfran and Stefan Savic with Jose Gimenez on the bench.
