OFFICIAL: Real Madrid confirm UCL final squad!

Real Madrid have formally announced their squad for the UEFA Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

Real have announced a strong side to face Dortmund at Wembley Stadium in London, including key players such as Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior. 

Both goalkeepers Andriy Lunin and Thibaut Courtois have been named in the team, but it still remains a mystery as whether manager Carlo Ancelotti will drop the Ukrainian to the bench in the final favour of their regular No .1, who only returned from injury in the latter stages of the competition.

Lunin, though, did contract a bout of flu earlier this week, which reportedly saw the team consider making him travel alone to England in a bid to avoid any of the other players falling ill.

Toni Kroos has also been included in the squad for a final that is guaranteed to be his last match for Real and of his club career, having announced his retirement from professional football once the 2024 UEFA European Championship is concluded.

Brazilian attacker Rodrygo also features despite speculation suggesting his recent words about his future upset some of the club's leadership.

There was also room for injured stars David Alaba and Aurelien Tchouameni, although the pair will not feature at all on Saturday.

Ancelotti, meanwhile, has insisted he is a Los Blancos fan at heart during an interview with El Chiringuito TV.

"I'm a Real Madrid fan, really. When did I start feeling this way? When I came here for the second time," he said. 

"I've been in many clubs, but Real Madrid and Milan have something special.

"For each of us, there is no greater joy than this. We cannot escape who we are. Our fate chooses us.

"If you could take all the words in the language, you could not describe how much I love you."
