Real's back five and midfield three picks itself on form so the only question mark going into the final was who would play in attack.
Zidane goes with the same team that started last year's final against Juventus, with Isco likely to play behind Benzema and Ronaldo.
For Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp there were no real dilemmas over his team selection with the return to fitness of Emre Can a welcome addition to the bench more than anything else.
