Champions League final: Spanish football is already the winner

The build-up to the first Champions League final between two teams from the same city will whet the appetite with a host of fascinating storylines.
Real Madrid's need to replace the suspended Xabi Alonso;  Cristiano Ronaldo returning to Lisbon; Gareth Bale aiming to end his first season in Spain with the ultimate prize; Atletico Madrid potentially completing a sensational double; Diego Simeone furthering his reputation as Europe's most in-demand manager; Diego Costa's bid for glory in possibly his last game for Atletico... there are enough sub-plots to fill a Shakespeare play.
As far as fans and media in Spain are concerned, however, one factor looms large above all others: 'La Decima' - the 10th.

It’s very difficult that two football teams from the same country play the final of the Champions League. So it’s more difficult that two football teams that are from the same city play the final, isn’t it? So that will happen.
Real Madrid and Atletico will play the final of the second most important competition of the world; the first one is the world cup, of course. I don’t know who will be the winner and that’s the magic of football: Real Madrid wants to win the 10th European title, and Atletico wants to make history!
So I don’t know, I hope that everybody enjoys this match because it will be exciting, even though your favourite football team don’t take part in. So if I have to bet money, I will say that Real Madrid will win 2-1, Sergio Ramos and Ronaldo will score for Madrid and Diego Costa for Atletico.
