As the Uefa Champions League final fast approaches, Real Madrid players and staff were out in the Spanish sunshine on Tuesday putting the final touches to their preparations.

On Saturday, Madrid take on Liverpool aiming to claim a historic third successive Champions League title. No team has ever won the trophy three times in a row in its current format, and not since Bayern Munich in the 1970s when it was the European Cup.
