The final sees the end of Toni Kroos' club career with the veteran midfielder confirming he will retire after Euro 2024 this summer as Dortmund captain Reus ends his lifelong bond with the German side at full time.

However, Real Madrid have again shown their experience and quality in huge games this season, and Ancelotti will be confident of securing his fifth Champions League trophy as a manager.
