Atletico fell marginally short in the La Liga title race ending the season three points behind eventual winners Barcelona and two behind Saturday's opponents and city rivals Real Madrid.

Atletico have faced the toughest possible route the final knocking out Barcelona in the quarter-finals and Bayern Munich in the semi-finals – the two favourites to win the tournament this season.
Griezmann has played a key role in getting Atletico to the final having scored twice against Barcelona in the last eight and notching the crucial away goal at the Allianz Arena to secure their safe passage into the final.
And the French forward, who will form an integral part of France's Euro 2016 hopes, has promised the club's supporters the players will 'run our socks off' to ensure the trophy returns to the red half of Madrid.

'We're going to be ready,' Griezmann told UEFA's official website. 'We'll remain focused every second of every minute, and give our all like always.
'We'll run our socks off, look to win the ball back by pressing high, and try to get the first goal. We'll have to be strong both mentally and physically.
'It'd be a dream come true, and I hope I get the chance to lift the trophy. I know it will take a lot of hard work and effort, but we are ready and willing, and we'll do everything we can to win it.'
