Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has said that his team will have to "run, run, run and run" in order to overcome Atletico Madrid in the 2016 Champions League final.

Zidane has also branded Atletico "a unit", but is confident that his players will be ready to take on Diego Simeone's side in Saturday night's showpiece event at Milan's San Siro stadium.

"Atletico is a unit. They do everything as a team and don't discount anyone, but we're all focused and prepared for the final. The game will be very difficult for sure, but we know [what to expect] and we're ready. Now, what the players want is for the match to get started," Zidane told reporters.

"First, we must defend well, especially when you don't have the ball. We have the weaponry to attack well, but we also have to run, run, run and run."

Real Madrid are seeking an 11th European Cup.
