The 31-year-old is gearing up for his fourth appearance in the European showpiece, having scored in his two previous triumphs, as he looks to set another record in the competition
Cristiano Ronaldo has another Champions League record in his sights as he looks to become the first player to score in three finals when Real Madrid face Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

The Portuguese is the all-time top scorer in the competition's history with 93 goals, beating Lionel Messi's current tally of 83, and became the first player to reach double figures in the group stage with his 11 strikes this season

Ronaldo, who is gearing up for this fourth final appearance after two with Manchester United and winning on his only outing with Madrid in 2014, can match his record return of 17 in a Champions League campaign with another goal against Atletico.



Ronaldo scored in his first final outing when United triumped over Chelsea in 2008, scoring the opening goal as the game went to penalties in Moscow, before adding a last-minute penalty in extra time as Atletico were beaten 4-1 two years ago.

The three-time Ballon d'Or winner is on course to finish as Champions League top scorer for a fifth time this season, matching Messi's record, but will still trail the record for final appearances.

Paolo Maldini holds the record with six final outings, while Edwin van der Sar, Clarence Seedorf and Patrice Evra have five under their belts.
