The final match will take place at National Stadium of Wales in Cardiff. Juventus knew it would face a team from Madrid but was not certain whether it would be Ateltico or Real.
Real Madrid was the favorite to advance with the lead in aggregates heading into their final half with Atletico Madrid and advanced despite losing the second leg 2-1. Juventus is coming off two victories against Monaco.
They won the first match 2-0 and came away with a 2-1 victory in Game 2. Juventus is out to prove the doubters wrong who believe they advanced to the final thanks to a favorable draw.
It is a rematch of the 2014-15 semi-finals. Juventus won the first match 2-1 while the two teams tied 1-1 in Game 2. The two teams also met in the 1997-98 final where Real Madrid won 1-0 with a Predrag Mijatovic goal in the 67th minute.
Real Madrid has a chance to defend their 2015-16 title which they won on penalty kicks. Juventus won their only Champions League title in 1996 over Ajax.
