Real to beat Atletico to Champions League crown, say Goal Singapore readers

The Madrid rivals will go head to head in Lisbon as they each look to create their own history in the final of Europe's elite footballing tournament


It is the ultimate showdown. Come Sunday morning, 2.45am Singapore time, the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon, Portugal, will see Real Madrid duke it out against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final.


It is the culmination of a long journey for both city rivals in Europe's elite footballing tournament, with each looking to create their own history.


For Real, this represents a genuine chance to end their la decima obssession, with the ninth title coming in 2001/02. A 10th crown will see them become the first side to hit double figures.


For the current Atletico players, they can write themselves into club folklore by winning their first Champions League title. It will also see them complete a superb double, having beaten Barcelona last weekend to seal the La Liga title - their first since 1996.



It promises to be an intriguing final that no football supporter will want to miss and Goal Singapore readers have tipped Real to edge Atletico - but only just. 53.7% of those polled believe that Ronaldo, Bale and company will finally lead Real back to the summit of Europe, shading the other 46.3% who think that Atletico have what it takes to upset the applecart.


In truth, just like the poll results, this game looks too tough to call. But whoever emerges victorious, you can be sure to catch all the action LIVE right here on Goal.
