Ronaldo is the only man who can now take the Champions League golden boot away from Messi, and fans won't be betting against the Portuguese legend to hit the back of the net at the Principality Stadium.
Real are hot favourites to claim their 12th European championship, and Ronaldo will be his team's spearhead to potential success.
Madrid were ruthless in the first leg of the semi-final against Atletico, with Ronaldo smashing in a hat-trick to kill their neighbours' hopes.
However, Atleti were resilient in the second encounter as they went on to win 2-1.
Gonzalo Higuain's individual goals in both last-four legs sees the Argentina hitman climb the scoring charts, and the Juve striker is now level with Karim Benzema.
Higuain will be lining up against his former team in the final and he will have a point to prove after leaving the Galacticos.
The former Napoli star is in the best scoring form of his career, and with Paulo Dybala lining up beside him in attack, Juve have the firepower to overcome the bookies' favourite.
