Thanks to Spain's winter break, Real Madrid can put out a first choice lineup, knowing they have a couple weeks of downtime before they have to get back to playing matches that matter. That's probably not good for San Lorenzo who will have to find a way to slow down the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, not to mention the absurd attacking riches that support them.
That said, this is still a one off final of a tournament and anything can happen. Things could go wrong for Madrid, San Lorenzo could play the match of their collective lives, or Madrid could steamroll them and lift yet another trophy ... which seems the most likely possibility.
There’s also the little issue of Madrid’s stunning run of form as their current winning streak in all competitions stands at 21 games. A victory on Saturday would put Los Blancos within two wins of Curitiba’s world record.
