Forlan hoping for all-Madrid Champions League final

The Penarol man enjoyed four stellar seasons with Atleti, and affirmed that reversing the painful defeat of two years ago would be a wonderful feeling.

Former Atletico Madrid favorite Diego Forlan says he would love to see a repeat of 2014's Champions League final this year - but with the Colchoneros on the winning side.

Atletico were minutes away from winning the final before Sergio Ramos scored a dramatic late equalizer, and Madrid went on to run riot in a 4-1 win after extra time.

And Forlan, who played at the Calderon for four seasons and lifted the Pichichi trophy twice as top scorer, affirmed that revenge over the club's city rivals would very sweet indeed.
