One of the most iconic images of the Champions League final when Real Madrid won La Decima is that of Zinedine Zidane shouting instructions to the players, while Carlo Ancelotti watches him in the background.
Now, the two coaches of that historic team cross paths in pursuit of glory in Cardiff.Ancelotti intends to make history and knock out 'his' Madrid on his return to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
This European classic also has great memories for Real because part of that magnificent run in 2014 included a 4-0 thrashing of Pep Guardiola's Bayern side.
That night was the prelude to the legend of Sergio Ramos, scorer of two goals, and it's also worth recalling that on the way to winning their eighth and ninth Champions League, Los Blancos also eliminated the Germans along the way.
The duel will see Xabi Alonso's return to the Bernabeu in what may be his last Champions League game.
He has announced his retirement at the end of season and will look to survive in the competition at the expense of the team that he played for over six seasons. In all matches played between these two European giants, Real have nine wins and Bayern 11.
