Real Madrid
Zinedine Zidane would have been a worried man when he saw his star attacker Cristiano Ronaldo limp out of Real's training session earlier this week.
Fans of Los Blancos went into meltdown but the Portuguese star soon reassured supporters he'll be fine for the game in Milan and should start.
'I am fine. I had a little problem in training, a dead leg, but I will be fine,' Ronaldo said. 'It was a minor scare, a knock.'
One man who will definitely miss the game is French defender Raphael Varane. He is out of Euro 2016 after suffering a grade two hamstring injury in training.
Probable team: Navas, Carvajal, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo; Kroos, Modric, Casemiro; Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo.
Atletico Madrid
Atletico boss Diego Simeone has cut a relaxed figure this week, a contrast to his usual spiky demeanour.
Two years ago in Lisbon there were question marks hanging over Diego Costa, who lasted just nine minutes before succumbing to a pre-existing hamstring problem. Arda Turn was ruled out.
This time around there are no-such problems and even former Chelsea midfielder Tiago has returned after six months out injured.
Probable team: Oblak; Juanfran, Savic, Godin, Filipe Luis; Niguez, Gabi, Fernandez, Koke; Torres, Griezmann
