STORYLINE:

Real Madrid players trained and spoke to the media on Tuesday (24th May) as the club prepared for Saturday's (28th May) Champions League Final against Atletico Madrid at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy.

SCRIPTING INFORMATION:

Real Madrid players continued their preparations at home on Tuesday in Madrid for Saturday's Champions League Final against their city rivals, Atletico Madrid, at the San Siro in Milan.

Ronaldo limped out of training, but he later played down concerns, saying he'd be 100% fit in a couple of days.

The Portuguese has been plagued by a thigh injury that forced him to miss three games in April, and he came off at half-time in Real's final game of the La Liga season 10 days ago after scoring twice in the first half to take his season's tally to 51.

Real Madrid missed out on the La Liga title, finishing a point behind Barcelona - and watched Barca complete a league and cup double with victory in the Copa del Rey on Sunday (22nd May).

Saturday's match will be a repeat of the 2014 Champions League Final, and Real will be happy to see a similar outcome as on that occasion they came away 4-1 winners in extra-time.

It will also present the chance for Zinedine Zidane, who took charge of the club in January, to complete a Champions League winning double at the club - as both player and manager.

Zidane scored the winning goal for Real against Bayer Leverkusen in the 2002 final.

6. 00:59 SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid player (on the impact of manager Zinedine Zidane since his arrival in January):

13. 02:19 Bale at training session

14. 02:20 SOUNDBITE: (English) Gareth Bale, Real Madrid player (on Zidane):

DURATION: 07:21

There was an air of hopeful anticipation on the streets of Madrid on Saturday morning, as residents looked ahead to the naming of the host city for the 2020 Olympic games.

Jacques Rogge, the International Olympic Committee President, was due to announce the winning bid on Saturday evening in Buenos Aires, Argentina, at 1730 local time - equivalent to 2230 local time in Madrid (2030 GMT).

Madrid was up against bids from Tokyo and Istanbul.

If Madrid is selected, works on the Olympic Stadium for Madrid 2020, which is also set to be the future stadium of local football club Atletico Madrid, are set to accelerate.

In the meantime on Saturday, preparations were underway for a large public event at La Puerta de Alcala, a monument in the centre of the Spanish capital, to accompany the announcement from Buenos Aires.

Picking the city with the least risks shapes up as the challenge for the IOC.

Tokyo has been seen as a slight favourite to win the 2020 games, but its status has been put into question by concerns over the leak of radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima plant.

Madrid, once counted out because of Spain's financial troubles, has generated the most recent buzz and momentum and could be poised for an upset win.

Istanbul, dogged by the war in neighbouring Syria and possible Western military strikes against Bashar Assad's regime, looks like the outsider.

London bookmakers have been taking a rush of bets on Madrid, whose odds have been slashed from 4-1 a week ago to 5-4.

Tokyo remains the betting favourite, though its odds have shortened to 5-6. Istanbul is listed at 6-1.

Madrid resident Charo Garcia confessed that she could not anticipate the outcome of the contest.

"The people of the International Olympic Committee are very weird, so I don't know. Maybe we have had too much excitement, but I think it's our time," she said.

Raquel Meren, a teacher from Venezuela was hopeful Madrid would be victorious, saying: "I like this city and this country and I think they deserve it."

But local resident Cesar Calvo sounded a note of caution, commenting: "I hope Madrid wins, but we have to wait because this costs money."

Istanbul, Madrid and Tokyo were all set to make 45-minute presentations in Buenos Aires on Saturday morning ahead of the vote later in the day by the International Olympic Committee.

The prime ministers of all three countries were set to lead the delegations.

Shinzo Abe of Japan, Mariano Rajoy of Spain and Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey all flew to Buenos Aires straight from the G20 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia.

After losing out on the past two Olympics, Madrid believes it has honed its bid to a point where it makes it the most financially prudent choice to host the 2020 Games.

Thrift is at the core of Madrid's bid, stressing that 80 percent of its venues are already built.

The city will equip its picturesque bullring for basketball, for example, and only 1.9 billion US dollars are needed to complete Olympic construction.

The bid committee has also made a point of highlighting how hosting the Games might act as a stimulus to an economy that in 2020 should have emerged from one of its longest and deepest financial crises.

By September 7, when the full International Olympic Committee (IOC) will select the host city by secret ballot, Spain will have been in recession for most of the past four years and burdened with a staggering 26.3 per cent unemployment rate.

Madrid is competing against Tokyo and Istanbul.

Tourism is Spain's second most important industry and in 2012 it catered for 57.7 million visitors, a total likely to be exceeded in 2013, according to the tourism department's statistics agency, Frontur.

Madrid believes it makes an ideal and very safe destination for Olympic visitors as well as Spaniards whose sporting success in recent years has been a topic of great national pride.

"Everything the Olympics generate is a big thing, not only the games themselves but also during the previous few years and the following ones," Spanish Olympic Gold medallist Jose Luis Abajo said.

"The legacy the Olympic Games can leave behind in a city is something we already know after have experienced it in Barcelona, and we can experience it again in Madrid."

Madrid has 28 out of 35 venues built.

Tokyo's construction budget is 4.9 billion US dollars, while Istanbul's is 19.2 billion US dollars, making the Spanish proposal by far the most economical.

Former Madrid Mayor, from 1991 to 2003, Jose Maria Alvarez del Manzano, said he first put Madrid forward for the bid because Spain was riding high on better economic times then.

But he said that despite the gloomier current outlook, the benefit is that 80 per cent of the work has been done.

"For what's left to do, of course it's worth it," he said.

Analyst Ignacio Cantos is of the same opinion.

He believes most of the investment has already been made, many of the installations have already been built and used.

In case Madrid wins the bid on Saturday, the extra visitors will only contribute to better Madrid and Spain's image and bring with it economical profit, he highlighted.

That's why I started this race and that's why we made then the majority of the investments, because we were in prosperity. Therefore, we have already done the 80 percent of it. For what's left to do, of course it's worth it."

"Barcelona went from one (million) to six million visitors a year. I don't think it will be the same with Madrid because Madrid already has a lot of visitors to museums, et cetera, so the impact will be probably be less. But anyway we cannot measure the benefit of promoting the image. The cost of all this is quite important, but we have been candidates for 12 years now, so most part of the investment has already been done, and in many cases even depreciated, therefore the cost for the following years would be quite light."

STORYLINE

Four cities were picked as finalists on Wednesday for the 2016 Olympics and Spain's capital Madrid was one of them.

The city's mayorship organised an event in the Cecilio Rodr�guez gardens of the Retiro Park to receive the news broadcasted from Athens.

"I am confident in our project, I am confident of our city. We have a popular support that no other bid has. What we have to do know is work and put the finishing touches to make sure the bid is well done. We need to get ourselves known outside of Spain," Ernesto Perez Lobo, Sports Coordinator 2016 Madrid Olympic bid said.

Other cities making the IOC shortlist were Chicago, US; Tokyo, Japan; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Eliminated from the race were Doha, Qatar; Prague, Czech Republic; and Baku, Azerbaijan.

The final field was selected by the International Olympic Committee executive board.

The big four - Chicago, Madrid, Spain and Tokyo - had all been virtually assured of advancing to the final stage.

Madrid citizens enjoying the warm weather in the Retiro park expressed their delight at Madrid's election.

"I would like Madrid to be the Olympic City in 2016," one woman told AP Television.

"We have it all pretty much prepared. As we had it almost ready for the 2012 bid. I think we have an opportunity," said another.

"Seeing as we didn't win for the 2012 we should win this time," said one man.

The finalists now advance to a 16-month race that will culminate on October 2, 2009, with a secret ballot by the full IOC at its session in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The evaluation report, which assessed sports venues, government support, security and other matters, put Tokyo in front, followed closely by Madrid.

In a surprise, Chicago and Doha were tied for third, with Rio fifth. Prague and Baku were sixth and seventh.

The early ranking is not crucial. When the IOC picked the finalists for the 2012 Olympics in 2004, London was ranked third behind first-place Paris and Madrid in the technical report.

London went on to win the games in 2005.

The 2016 race shapes up as a tight battle between strong candidates from the Americas, Europe and Asia.

Chicago is a contender to take the games back to the US for the first time since the 1996 Atlanta Games.

Madrid is back again after a third-place finish in the vote for the 2012 Olympics, which went to London.

Cities that made the cut will have to submit their detailed bid files to the IOC by February 12, 2009.

After that, a panel of IOC experts will visit each of the cities, tour the proposed sites and meet with bid and government leaders.

The panel will release an evaluation report to the IOC members a month before the October 2009 vote.

The 2016 cutoff was the centrepiece of a three-day IOC board meeting in Athens, the last before the committee gathers in Beijing on the eve of the August 8-24 Olympics.

Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane spoke on Tuesday (24th January) after overseeing his side's final preparations ahead of their Spanish Copa del Rey. quarter-final second leg away to Celta Vigo on Wednesday (25th January).

Real Madrid on Tuesday (3rd January) prepared to meet Sevilla in the first leg of their Copa del Rey round of 16 tie.

SCRIPTING INFORMATION:

Real Madrid held their second training session of the year on Tuesday in preparation for their next game against Sevilla.

Sergio Ramos was still not ready to join the squad due to his knee injury.

Gareth Bale, Lucas, Mateo Kovacic and Pepe are also injured.

James Rodriguez said last month he had seven days to think about his future and whether or not he should stay at Real Madrid.

But manager Zinedine Zidane noted the Colombian's frustration and assured him he had a future at the club.

On Wednesday (4th January), it will be a year since Zidane arrived in Real Madrid.

He has won more awards than matches he has lost, and next week we will know if he will receive the Best Coach of the Year award.

The Frenchman said "It would be normal if someone else won it, I have just started."

Zidane also complimented Cristiano Ronaldo on his FIFA Club World Cup Golden Ball win.

Ronaldo will rest tomorrow and will not play the first game of 2017.

Zidane also denied the reports that Morata could leave for the Juventus.

Madrid's town hall said Thursday smog levels have dropped enough to allow the city to end unprecedented restrictions it had announced on vehicle circulation.

City environment councilor Ines Sabanes said Thursday's ban on vehicles with plates ending in an even number will not be extended.

Other measures, including a ban on street parking for non-residents and reduced speed limits, will continue.

Madrid ordered the traffic limits, a first for a Spanish city, due to excess levels of nitrogen dioxide in the air.

Environmental activists and many of Madrid's residents welcomed the move as a step towards tackling pollution.

Sabanes said weather conditions continued to be bad, mainly due to a lack of rain and wind, and authorities would continue to monitor the situation.

"Well, this plan tries to ease the situation, or in our case to increase the awareness of the citizens because here we have a serious health and environmental issue. And I think through such measures they'll be able to achieve this. The citizens will accept this. The important thing is that this should be the first step toward measures that will be able to decrease the level of pollution in a categorical way, measures that won't be another anecdote (in this effort)."

6. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Juan Garcia Vicente, Member of environmentalist group Ecologistas en Accion:

"One vehicle should not be used only for one person, there should be three or four people (inside each car), just like any other city in the world, and this logic has already been adopted in many other European cities, we've already seen it, there are people who share a car-ride, as well there are taxi stops for three people who are using (the same taxi to arrive to nearby destinations). This might be surprising but it is true. These measures might be minimal but once planted inside people's minds they will change their behaviour. There should be an understanding between the leaders and the society, otherwise this won't work."

8. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Agustin Rodrigo, Madrid resident:

"I think it is really good. There is a lot of pollution and then there are people who are using their cars to even go and buy bread, basically there are people who are taking their cars out just for the sake of it, just because it is comfortable and I think the decision of Madrid's mayor (to limit the circulation of vehicles) is really good."

STORYLINE:

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane oversaw training and spoke ahead of their game against Espanyol on Sunday (18th September) -

'Los Merengues' have started the current La Liga season with three victories in a row, while Espanyol have only collected two points in three games.

SCRIPTING INFORMATION:

Real Madrid defend their leadership of La Liga on Sunday (18th September) against Espanyol in the RCDE Stadium.

Coach Zinedine Zidane is looking for his 16th consecutive victory in La Liga, however, he cannot count on stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale for this game due to injury.

Pep Guardiola's Barcelona achieved in 2011 the current record of 16 consecutive wins, with the French coach hoping to equal that tally against Espanyol.

Ronaldo is ill, while Gareth Bale suffered a "strong knock" during their UEFA Champions League clash against Sporting Lisbon last Wednesday (14th September).

Zidane hopes to rotate against Espanyol, that means James Rodriguez could start from the beginning or come off the bench.

The Colombian midfielder was vital against Sporting during Real Madrid's opening game in the UCL.

Rodriguez assisted Alvaro Morata's last-minute goal to grab the three points.

Real Madrid thrashed Espanyol in both La Liga games last season by the same score: 6-0.

'Los Merengues' have started the current La Liga season with three victories in a row, while Espanyol have just collected two points in three games.

Playing a Champions League final is certainly special, as you never know how many finals you´re going to play in your life, so you have to face it like it's your last. We have to give our all and play with everything to win. And if we win then yes, I will enjoy the feeling of having fought since I was a little kid, that feeling I've have had for such a long time, ever since I started to play in lesser leagues. Being Atletico and being an Atletico fan, that is much more special."

"No, I don't dream about it these days. We practise everyday to make sure that everything goes right on the 28th (May, date of final) but when I go to sleep I sleep soundly, I don't think about the match. I never think about what's going to happen before a game because you only see how it goes once you're out on the pitch. So we practise everyday and we're preparing very well for the game, but when I go to sleep I am calm."

8. 01:34 SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Koke, Atletico Madrid player (on whether he is more nervous than his team-mates, having been with Atletico since the age of eight):

"No, not at all, I'm not more nervous. I'll play with all the excitement in the world but just like the rest of my team-mates. Playing a Champions League final is certainly special, as you never know how many finals you´re going to play in your life, so you have to face it like it's your last. We have to give our all and play with everything to win. And if we win then yes, I will enjoy the feeling of having fought since I was a little kid, that feeling I've have had for such a long time, ever since I started to play in lesser leagues. Being Atletico and being an Atletico fan, that is much more special."

9. 02:07 Diego Godin stretching

10. 02:14 Diego Godin talking to Augusto Fernandez

11. 02:22 SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Diego Godin, Atletico Madrid player (on Atletico coach Diego Simeone):

"He has transformed the team since the day he arrived but, as I have said before, we're always reinventing ourselves as a team. As a player I try to make the most of what he gives us. Working under the orders of 'El Cholo' (Simeone's nickname) is one of the best things that has happened to me in my career, because I've learnt so much from him and I'm still learning, both as a player and as part of a team."

12. 02:55 Augusto Fernandez at training session

13. 03:02 SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Augusto Fernandez, Atletico de Madrid player:

"We keep working with the same dynamics, with the same intensity, and with the same thrill as usual. We have fought for La Liga until the end, we've had many challenges in the Champions League, and we always do everything with excitement. If anything is guiding this group then it's our values, and our values are effort, humility and work. That's what drives us every day."

7. 00:49 Wide of news conference

8. 00:54 SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Diego Simeone, Atletico Madrid coach (on difference between this year's UCL final and the 2014 final, which they lost to Real Madrid):

"We arrived in Lisbon (for 2014 UCL final) in a very different situation. We had just played a final (La Liga weekend) against Barcelona, one of the best three teams in the world, only a week before. We had just won the (Spanish) league and there were many kids with problems - Arda (Turan), Diego Costa. I hope that after this week we can get there (the final) in the best possible shape, with all our strength, all our energy. But I repeat, in these last three years the best experience I've had is being able to repeat and play another final."

9. 01:33 Training session

10. 01:38 Diego Godin warms up

11. 01:45 SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Diego Simeone, Atletico Madrid coach:

"Regarding our style, which is very much discussed because we obviously like to create debate, our style consists of constantly refreshing our approach. That´s why it's a different style. Recycling 10 players in three years, from one final to the next, when the club has played only three finals in 113 years of history, is fantastic. The current style of Atletico Madrid is renewal."

12. 02:16 Fernando Torres warms

13. 02:22 Yannick Carrasco chases the ball

14. 02:29 Antoine Griezmann runs with the ball

15. 02:38 SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Diego Simeone, Atletico Madrid coach (on what he expects from Griezmann in the final):

"I expect things from the squad, I don't focus on individuals. Our work is based on the team, based on the collective, and then individual talent - whether in defence, attack or midfield - eventually shows itself. That's how we've been working for the last four and a half years - collectively. And based on that, Antoine's talent, as well the talent of many other players - will emerge."

16. 03:13 Players training

17. 03:33 SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Diego Simeone, Atletico Madrid coach:

"First of all I want to congratulate (Zinedine) Zidane (Real Madrid coach) on the work he's doing. It's been fabulous, arriving at the club the way he did, in a difficult moment for the club. It's true he knew the players and you can see the affection they have for him, and that's translated well into their play. The team got their motivation back, their intensity, their speed in attack. Their style is more centred on making the most of the speed of their three forwards. The squad are now calmer when they compete. They are second in the Spanish league after battling in their last 10 games with dignity and, obviously, playing a Champions League final is a very important step for him (Zidane), for his work."

STORYLINE:

Atletico Madrid held a training session and media day on Saturday (21st May), ahead of the UEFA Champions League final against Spanish rivals Real Madrid on 28th May.

SCRIPTING INFORMATION:

Two years after losing to Spanish rivals Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final, Atletico Madrid are preparing to face them again in this year's decider.

Speaking at a club media day on Saturday, Atletico coach Diego Simeone said that his players are much better prepared this time out.

In 2014 Atletico went to the final in Lisbon just a week after a huge push to win La Liga title by drawing 1-1 at Barcelona - and with many key players, including Arda Turan and Diego Costa, far from 100 per cent fit.

This year Simeone's side were already out of contention when the final La Liga weekend came around, and have had two weeks to prepare - with a fully fit squad - for the Champions League showdown in Lisbon.

Simeone praised the collective team ethic of his own squad, and also praised the work that rival coach Zinedine Zidane has done with his players after replacing Rafa Benitez as Real's coach in January.

Under Zidane, his players have " got motivation their back, their intensity, their speed in attack," said Simeone.

The Champions League final will take place at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy on 28th May.

STORYLINE:

Real Madrid midfielder Isco spoke on Tuesday (17th May) about the upcoming UEFA Champions League final and being included in the Spanish squad for the European Championship.

SCRIPTING INFORMATION:

Real Madrid midfielder Isco has an intense summer of football ahead of him for both club and country.

Although Real finished second to rivals Barcelona in La Liga, that result must be quickly forgotten as they prepare for the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday 28th May.

Zinedine Zidane's team will face Atletico Madrid at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy.

Isco insists that the all-Madrid final is going "to be a battle" and said on Tuesday that "in the Champions League anything can happen".

Although he will be focussed on trying to claim the European Cup for Real Madrid for an 11th time, one eye will be on the upcoming European Championship in France this June.

Isco, who already has 14 caps for Spain, has been called up to the squad for the first time in a major tournament.

The 24 year-old has made 31 appearances for Real Madrid in the league this season and wants to make his mark internationally this summer. "I intend to help the team in every way I'm needed. I'm new. I hope I'll help," he said at a sponsor's event.

It's been good, and that's the most important thing for me because there were many doubts and I do understand the doubts, but well, in the end... I also have to say that I haven't won anything. I'm happy for what I'm doing, I'm happy for the daily work we're doing, but I haven't won anything yet, that makes me think I will stay. I just think I like what I'm doing every day and we will see what happens at the end of the season. We have two very important finals ahead and that's because the work we've done so far has been fabulous."

STORYLINE:

Zinedine Zidane and his Real Madrid squad prepare for Saturday's trip to Deportivo La Coruna (13th May) - the last game of their domestic league campaign. Real must win and hope that Barcelona fail to beat relegation-threatened Granada in order to win the Spanish Primera League title, then they can look ahead to the UEFA Champions League final on 28th May.

SCRIPTING INFORMATION:

Only a few weeks ago, Real Madrid's chances of winning any of the titles available to them seemed fanciful.

Now, after 11 wins in a row in La Liga, Zinedine Zidane's team have moved up to second place, one point behind leaders Barcelona.

A 33rd league title is close - but with only one game left in the season, they must win at Deportivo La Coruna and hope Barcelona fail to beat relegation-threatened Grenada.

"We know we will have a complicated game because we're playing away," Zidane said at his regular Friday press conference. "(Deportivo) La Coruna are a good team, they're a team that can play football and they'll want to end the season the best way they can in front of their fans, but we're only focused on what we must do."

"We have faith in everything. We have faith in La Liga, of course, why not? We have won 11 matches, we're only one point behind (Barcelona) with one match ahead, and we're going to believe until the end, until the last minute, the last second of the match," he added.

Real have also reached the Champions League final and will win European club football's elite competition for an unprecedented 11th time if they can overcome Athletico Madrid on May 28th at the San Siro in Milan.
