Two years ago, the two sides made for an instant classic. On Saturday, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid will go at it again.
The San Siro in Milan will be the stage for a Madrid derby this weekend as the two Spanish powerhouses battle for the UEFA Champions League crown again after Los Blancos defeated Atleti, 4-1, in extra time to claim La Décima — their 10th European title — in Lisbon in 2014.
That contest saw a stoppage-time goal from Sergio Ramos to extend the match before Gareth Bale, Marcelo and Cristiano Ronaldo each tallied goals in extra time to claim the trophy.
While the UCL Final takes center stage, a slew of international friendlies will also provide some action for fans as most national squads are tuning up for tournaments such as the Euros and Copa America.
MLS, on the other hand, will carry on with Sporting Kansas City-D.C. United and New York City FC-Orlando City SC receiving national coverage.

What about the Liga MX final on Sunday? Not available anywhere?
Tonight’s game has been moved to 8:30 local time (9:30 EDT).
Why doesn’t MLS take advantage of the free Monday. Seems to me it would be a natural to get some mid-afternoon Memorial Day games on the schedule.
SBI always on point with the awkward pictures.
