Zinedine Zidane’s men qualified despite losing 2-1 to city
rivals Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night.
Real came into the second leg of their semi-final tie with a
three-goal lead, thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo’s hat-trick at the Santiago
Bernabeu.
However, they had to endure a nervous opening to the return
leg, as Atletico flew out of the blocks and took a two-goal lead through Saul
Niguez’s header and Antoine Griezmann’s penalty.
Isco bundled in the ball after Toni Kroos’ shot was blocked
on the line, to take the game beyond Diego Simeone’s men and there were no more
goals in the encounter.
Juve booked their ticket to Cardiff with a 4-1 aggregate win
against Monaco last night.
The final will be played June 3.
