Sergio Ramos targets another Champions League success with Real Madrid

Sergio Ramos has targeted a second Champions League trophy in three seasons ahead of Saturday's final between Real and Atletico Madrid.

The Real Madrid defender scored an equalising goal deep in stoppage time against city rivals Atletico in the 2014 showpiece in Lisbon to take the game into extra-time, which Real went on to win 4-1.

The sides meet once again in the final of Europe's elite club competition this weekend in Milan, with Bernabeu veteran Ramos keen to build on his team's dramatic victory two years ago.

He said: "The first time is like when you make love - you always remember it, but after it is true you can improve.

"The first one has a special taste because I was the protagonist with a great goal, but I am optimistic and ambitious.

"I like to turn the page and continue filling my honours list. Hopefully I'll have the good fortune to lift (the Champions League) again."

Atletico have responded well to that loss against Real with just one defeat in the subsequent 10 Madrid derbies.

That reverse also came in Europe, however, and saw Real take the upper hand in last season's Champions League quarter-final tie between the two sides.

Javier Hernandez's goal sent Real into the last four and Ramos added: "We are very clear in the ideas we have, in what we want to do and how to approach this game.

"We know the opponent very well. We know the team we will have in front of us and, unless perhaps they have changed their style and philosophy, it is Atletico Madrid.

"We know it will be a very competitive, hard game against a side that plays with a lot of intensity and character."
