It could prove to be one of the great Champions League finals. There are so many reasons why the neutral can become emotionally involved in this game with the Italian greats Gianluigi Buffon and Giorgio Chiellini at last deserving a medal for their efforts, while the Cristiano Ronaldo fans out there will be desperate to claim a third Champions League in four years takes the Portuguese out of the reach of his greatest rival.
Away from sentiment, this match is like a player’s FIFA 17 Ultimate Team dream team with goals, pace and defensive resolve aplenty. Forget the drab affair that Manchester United are likely to be involved in in the Europa League final, this could prove to be an incredibly entertaining game.
With all this talent on show, we here at ClickOn have put together our Juventus and Real Madrid combined XI of available players for the final:
Gianluigi Buffon

Marcelo
The fact that people are talking about Marcelo in the same breath as Roberto Carlos shows just how incredible the Brazilian has become. Image Source: Twitter
Sergio Ramos
It's probably evens that he will score the winner with a header in the 94th minute.

Claudio Marchisio
Probably the most underrated man in either team. A tireless runner and a great shield in front of the defence. Image Source: Twitter
Luka Modric
The man that makes Madrid tick. Mega money signings aside, the Croatian is their best transfer for years.

Toni Kroos

Isco
He has taken Bale's place in the team and nobody is missing the Welshman, which is testament to the level he is playing at. Image Source: Twitter
Cristiano Ronaldo
The man for the big occasion. The stage is set for Ronaldo to strengthen his claim as the greatest of all-time with yet another trophy.

Paulo Dybala
Showed his class against Barcelona with his double and will earn Juventus a pretty penny when he eventually leaves.
