Champions League The result all that matters

Juventus v Real Madrid: Where will the game be won and lost?

Experience sees Real Madrid through Atletico cauldron and into final

As tight games go, calling Real Madrid vs. Juventus in the Champions League final is as tough as it gets, leading Fernando Morientes to state that he'd be happy with a narrow, even controversial win for Los Blancos.

The former striker enjoyed success in the 1998 showpiece over the Old Lady and on two further occasions with Real but also heartbreak with Monaco back in 2004.

"I would settle for a 1-0 scoreline final with an unfair penalty scored by Bale," said the Spaniard at a sponsorship event.

"Zidane will decide [if Bale plays]. I will not say what I would do.

"In the finals I've played with Real Madrid, we were always favourites, but these finals can go well and they can go wrong."

With it 19 years since the two teams met in a European final, Morientes believes that game will have little bearing on what promises to be a fantastic clash on June 3.

"The Cardiff final will be totally different to my first Champions League in 1998," Morientes continued. "Which is probably the most important game I've played in.

"A final is always a climax and Juve are very solid.

"Real Madrid have an incredible ability to score goals, I think it will be an extraordinary encounter. There will be much excitement and tension."
