Gareth Bale says Zinedine Zidane has helped Real Madrid express themselves.
"I think he's come in and he's kind of just given us that freedom to enjoy ourselves on the pitch," explained the Welshman.
"I think, as a player, you like to play that way and I think he's instilled that confidence in the team that we can go out and express ourselves and I think that's brought the best out of us."
Of their Champions League final opponents Atletico, he added: "We know they've got a very good defensive record and they play very well in the defence. But we have to be patient, we have to pick our moments and when we do create the chances we need to take them.
"Everyone is feeling excited, happy and looking forward to a final and in a way [we] just can't wait to get there and get it started. Every final is massive for us, especially the Champions League final.
