MADRID (AP) A look at Real Madrid’s Champions League campaign ahead of Saturday’s final against Juventus in Cardiff:

GROUP STAGE

Real Madrid easily advanced from a group containing Sporting Lisbon, Legia Warsaw and Borussia Dortmund, even though it finished second behind Dortmund.

The defending champions drew both matches against the German club, relinquishing a two-goal lead at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Madrid’s other setback in the group stage was a 3-3 draw at Legia Warsaw. It had routed the Polish club 5-1 at the Bernabeu.

Madrid struggled in its opening match, needing two very late goals to earn a 2-1 win over Sporting Lisbon at the Bernabeu.
