Marcelo reveals what he thinks will decide the Champions League final

Marcelo has claimed Real Madrid are 100 per cent ready for the final.

The final in Milan will no doubt be one of, if not the biggest game of the season, and the Real Madrid left-back has revealed what he thinks will be the decisive factor...

Real Madrid defender Marcelo believes that the Champions League final will be decided by 'small details'.

Los Blancos will ake on city rivals Atletico Madrid in a replay of the 2014 final on Saturday, with Zidane's men after their 11th European crown, whilst Simeone's side will be after their first Champions League title.

Many believe it willbe the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale or Antoine Griezmann who will be the decisive factors in the tie, but Marcelo believes it will be the finer details which will decide the winner, whilst also claiming Real are 100 per cent ready for the task ahead.

"We're feeling as good as we could," he said. "We're ready, prepared and I think we'll fair quite well.

"I think in a final what decides the game is the small details and we're thinking of all those. Everyone wants to win, you need to work and run a lot and I think the small details are what's going to make a difference."

Marcelo came on as a substitire to score one of Real's winning goals in extra-time of the 2014 final, and whilst remembering that special occassion, he believes they have to concentrate solely on this year and not dwell on the past.

"It's impossible not to think of that game. It was very special," the 28-year-old added. "I personally believe that it's in the past, it's over now and it's another final.

"[On Saturday] we have a chance to live a great day for us, but in order to do that we need to fight because it's the Champions League final and it's always very difficult to win."
