Both sets of fans were even happy to be snapped together in the city centre as they gear up for their side to be crowned as Europe’s top team.
Los Blancos could win the competition for the third time in the last four seasons, and are aiming to become the first club to win the Champions League back-to-back since 1990.
The Old Lady have won the European Cup on two occasions – the last being 21 years ago in the 1995/96 campaign when they defeated Ajax 4-2 on penalties after drawing 1-1 in normal time.

Juventus have since finished as runners-up in the elite tournament four times since they last triumphed, losing most recently to Barcelona 3-1 in 2015.
The game in Wales’ national stadium will be a repeat of the 1998 Champions League final between both European giants, where Zinedine Zidane‘s men won 1-0 thanks to a second half strike from Predrag Mijatovic.
