Champions League Final: After two exhilarating European finals we move on to the main event, where the best of the best clash at the home of football, Wembley, in what could be a modern classic.
Like two champion heavyweight boxers, both Dortmund and Real like to play on the front foot, at times eschewing defence as they look to land the knockout blow.
Only one will be crowned Champions. In a record-setting eighth time the final has been at Wembley, will Real add to their 14 triumphs, or can Dortmund defy the odds and claim the title for the second time in their history?
Die Schwarzgelben or Los Blancos, who have you got?
