Real Madrid is going to leave it all on the pitch come May 28.

Los Blancos, looking to capture a second Champions League crown in three seasons - and 11th European title in club history - will meet city rival Atletico Madrid at the San Siro later this month, and attacking midfielder Isco is preparing for an exhausting encounter.

"In Milan we are going to give everything and put our heart and soul into it for the fans. It's going to be a difficult battle but we're going in to it in great shape and with a lot of desire to reward our fans on the 28th of May," the Spaniard told the club's official website.

"The team is really looking forward to it and is very strong. Both teams are going in to it in their best form. Atletico are tough, they know how to read the game well, especially against teams who take the initiative, they’ve knocked out Barcelona and Bayern. We're going to try to make as few mistakes as possible. Anything can happen. We hope that the cup will be coming back to the Bernabeu."

Victory for Isco and Co. would signal the second time in as many attempts that Real will have broken Atleti hearts on club football's grandest stage; the 4-1 win in the 2013-14 final came after Sergio Ramos' 93rd-minute header knotted the match one apiece and forced extra time.
