Harry Kane speaking to Glenn Hoddle on BT Sport on the eve of the final: "The ankle is good. It’s been seven or so weeks of hard work. I’m back training with the team.
"The semi-final was an amazing game. I couldn’t believe it happened. Just to be there, the emotions took over. I wanted to be there and support them and pass my experience on to anyone that needed it.
"It’s amazing that we’re here but we might not get another chance to lift the Champions League trophy so we’re here to win the game.
"There’ll be a lot of talking and thinking but I’m sure that everyone is looking forward to getting out there to play."

Groundstaff are out and the sprinklers are on all over Wanda Metropolitano - the pitch looks perfect but it is getting a real hosing down.
No surprises in the Liverpool team. Roberto Firmino is fit and Jurgen Klopp's tried and trusted midfield trio of captain Jordan Henderson, Gini Wijnaldum and Fabinho gets the nod.
Atmosphere building nicely after an intense and celebratory build-up in Madrid city centre.

Rio Ferdinand on BT Sport says Harry Kane's inclusion is a "...massive, massive call, a huge gamble. To see him the squad, in the changing room is a huge boost."
Has anyone ever scored a hat-trick in a semi-final and been dropped for the final?
