We asked for your worst-ever winners of major honours, and best players never to win big-time silverware...

Andy in London: Fellow Newcastle fans will remember World Cup winner and complete non-entity Stephane Guivarc'h signing for us post-France 98.

Rob in Oldham: Europe's worst winner - Johnny Aston for Man U in 1968. Talentless!

No Welshman has ever scored in a European Cup final - can Gareth Bale be that man tonight? The world's most expensive footballer has had a good opening season for Real, and won one trophy already with a stunning solo goal in the Copa del Fey.

His stock could go up to a whole new level if he wins 'La Decima.'

BBC World Service reporter John Bennett in Madrid:

"There's a really friendly atmosphere in the Madrid ahead of the game. I'm in the "Marca cafe" sports bar and the Atletico & Real fans are all gathering to watch the game together. There are no big screens in the city centre so the bars will be rammed with supporters from both sides. Real are out singing Atletico so far..."

For Real fans, a 12-year wait for a European Cup final may have felt like a lifetime.

But Atletico fans have been waiting for 40 years. Their last - and only - European Cup final appearance was against Bayern Munich in 1974, with the German giants winning in a replay.

Fahad A Subhan:, external Francesco Totti, Michael Ballack and the Brazilian Ronaldo have to be up there with the best players not to win the European Cup.

Real Madrid: Casillas, Carvajal, Varane, Sergio Ramos, Fabio Coentrao, Modric, Khedira, Di Maria, Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo. Subs: Diego Lopez, Pepe, Marcelo, Arbeloa, Morata, Isco, Illarramendi.

Atletico Madrid: Courtois, Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Filipe Luis, Raul Garcia, Gabi, Tiago, Koke, Villa, Diego Costa. Subs: Aranzubia, Mario Suarez, Adrian, Rodriguez, Alderweireld, Diego, Sosa.

BBC Sport Chief Football Writer Phil McNulty in Lisbon

"The two "speakers" - or should that be "shouters" - for each Champions League Final club are currently attempting to inject atmosphere at Lisbon's Stadium of Light. Not really required as Atletico and Real fans can do that job perfectly well.

"Big call for Real coach Carlo Ancelotti to start Sami Khedira in midfield after he sustained a serious knee ligament injury in November. He has only played for an hour in six months.

"For Atletico, meanwhile, it looks like the horse placenta has done the trick and Diego Costa starts after his hamstring injury."

BBC World Service's John Bennett in Madrid: "I spoke to Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid's training ground this week and he told me that this is the moment he has been waiting for since he signed from Man United in 2009.

"But he was slightly concerned about the lack of experience in Real's team. Only four have played in the final before. He told me: "I don't play alone."

James in London: Only Macedonian winner was Goran Pandev for Inter wasn't it?

Yes James (and many others). Yes he was...

Cristiano Ronaldo's 16 goals in a single European Cup/Champions League campaign is a record.

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 37 goals in his last 29 Champions League games.

Cristiano Ronaldo is just ridiculous.

Arsalan Khan:, external It is one of the great travesties of the game that a player of Michael Ballack's calibre never lifted the UCL trophy.

Corin Garbett, external: One man who deserves that European top honour that still doesn't have it... Zlatan, he's got it all except the one that matters

Diego Costa is fit to start for Atletico Madrid - but Arda Turan does miss out. David Villa is the only man in this side to win the Champions League before.

Atletico XI: Courtois; Juanfran, Godin, Miranda, Filipe Luis; Gabi, Tiago, Koke, Raul Garcia; Villa, Diego Costa

Real Madrid make three changes from their last league game as Sami Khedira - just back from a serious knee injury - is handed a start. No surprises that Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema all start.

Real XI: Casillas; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Coentrao; Khedira, Modric, Di Maria; Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo

Dan in Aberdeen: Roque Junior has to be the worst World Cup winner of all time. He was fairly amusing at best for Leeds post that.

Ian, Southsea: Richard Wright. More Premier League medals than appearances for Man City. Passenger.

Zad: Best to miss out - Liverpool's Suarez on PL title just under two weeks ago Worst to win - Manu's Carrick.

Uefa looked back on their website, external to where Champions League winners have come from, with Atletico's Arda Turan aiming to become Turkey's first Champions League winner tonight.

A a record 46 players who have won the trophy since 1993 come from Spain. Can you name the only Champions League winner from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia?

R Thistlethwaite:, external Surely one of the best players to never win a major honour has to be Sir Tom Finney

Hit Row Z:, external Jonathan Greening coming into the squad for Paul Scholes in 1999 has to be up there

Dennis Wang:, external Anderson scored one of the penalties in Moscow. Wes Brown provided the assist for our only goal, top player!

Who is the worst player you've ever seen win a major honour? A passenger in a gifted side. Or alternatively, who is the best player to miss out on the big prizes?

We should have team news within the next 15 minutes or so, so we will find out which of those injured men have made it.

Let's be honest, it's the Champions League final. If you're half fit, you say you can play...

After 60-odd games and with a World Cup on the horizon, it's perhaps no surprise that both sides come into tonight's game with injury concerns over key players.

Real's talisman Cristiano Ronaldo has not played for 17 days with a muscle injury but has been declared fit, while striker Karim Benzema is the latest doubt with an abductor injury. Defender Pepe is also struggling.

Atletico are hopeful that their main goal threat Diego Costa will be fit after some novel treatment.

The striker has been treated in Belgrade using horse placenta after tearing a hamstring during last weekend's 1-1 draw with Barcelona, with Arda Turan injuring a hip in the same game.
