Real Madrid return to the final looking to defend the
trophy they won last season by defeating Atletico
Madrid at San Siro .
They will hope to have Welsh winger Gareth Bale fit to
feature in his home city of Cardiff as they seek to be
crowned European champions for the 12 th time , but find
Serie A titans Juventus standing in their way.
Juve have not won this competition since 1996 , when
they defeated Ajax at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome , and
have been runners up four times since then – most
recently in 2014 - 15 , when they lost to Barcelona .
Massimiliano Allegri will attempt to banish the demons
of that night by claiming the Bianconeri ’ s third
European title in Wales .
“Making the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa
League available for free to everyone in the UK shows
that BT really is serious about making sport much more
accessible to the public, ” BT Consumer chief executive
John Petter said.
“These are two of the biggest club football tournaments
in the world and showing them live on social media and
on mobile devices makes it more readily available to a
younger audience as well as available to traditional TV
viewers .
“We believe that VR can offer our viewers an immersive
second screen view which will enhance our coverage .
We ’ re excited to be broadcasting what we believe to be
the biggest multi - camera live 360° sporting event ever
for the first time to our customers . ”
