Real Madrid are eyeing a record-extending 15th UEFA Champions League success when they face Borussia Dortmund at Wembley on Saturday.
Madrid battled past Dortmund's Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich thanks to Joselu's stunning semifinal late show at the Santiago Bernabeu. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti now has the chance to win a fifth UCL title, having already set a record of four.
Dortmund have been a surprise package of the competition, seeing off Paris Saint-Germain with a semifinal second-leg victory at the Parc des Princes after knockout out Atletico Madrid in the quarters.
Head coach Edin Terzic appears to have hit upon a winning formula that he hopes will help BVB to go one better than the 2013 final in London, when they suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Bayern.
His opposite number Carlo Ancelotti has an enviable array of talent to pick from as usual but faces one key dilemma ahead of the weekend.

Ancelotti confirmed France star Aurelien Tchouameni was struggling to make the squad due to injury but is fit enough to be included on the bench.
Thibaut Courtois is fit again and starts ahead of Andriy Lunin, who had starred in Los Blancos' run to the final.
