  1. How both sides got here

    Real Madrid v Al Ain (16:30 GMT)

    Real Madrid reached today's final thanks to a 3-1 win over Kashima Antlers in the semi-final on Wednesday.

    Gareth Bale scored a hat-trick in that game.

    Abu Dhabi's Al Ain stunned River Plate on penalties to reach a final in their home country.

    I’m interested in it now. I wasn’t interested in it years ago because the games were often battles with fighting on the pitch.

    But it’s grown and feels like all the continents are a bit more involved now. I wouldn’t say it’s a vital competition to European clubs but it is growing and getting more interesting.
