Team news
Giorgio Chiellini
The centre-back has been ruled out due to a calf injury sustained in training on Wednesday. The 30-year-old underwent a scan on Thursday which showed up a first-grade tear.
Andrea Barzagli
Barzagli has not played since suffering a thigh strain against SSC Napoli on 23 May but returned to regular training on Wednesday and was named in the squad on Thursday. He remains doubtful, though Chiellini's absence means he is very likely to start if fit and he did train on Fridya at the Olympiastadion.

Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba
Injured his ankle on 18 March and only returned on 9 May. He has since played a total of 255 minutes in Serie A and 89 in the UEFA Champions League. "Hopefully he will be at his peak in Berlin," said Allegri.
Martín Cáceres
The versatile defender has been out since fracturing his ankle in March, at which point he was ruled out for the season.
Álvaro Morata
A second-half substitute in last season's final, when he helped Real Madrid CF overcome Club Atlético de Madrid, the young forward is expected to start this time around. "I feel in great form physically," he said.
Roberto Pereyra
He is not expected to start in Berlin, but attacking midfielder Pereyra is certainly among those hitting form. After scoring in Juve's last two Serie A matches of the season, he will probably be involved.

FC Barcelona (ESP)
Possible lineup
Ter Stegen; Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Alba; Rakitić, Busquets, Iniesta; Messi, Suárez, Neymar.

• Doubtful: none
• Out: none

Team news
Andres Iniesta
The midfielder was taken off in the second half of Saturday's Copa del Rey final against Athletic Club, but although he missed training on Tuesday, he insisted: "Not playing on Saturday has never crossed my mind." Should Barcelona triumph, the 31-year-old will join Clarence Seedorf as the only player to have won the UEFA Champions League four times.

Luis Suárez
The Uruguayan missed Barcelona's final two league matches with a hamstring problem but returned to the starting lineup for the Copa del Rey final and played 78 minutes before being replaced by Pedro Rodríguez, providing the assist for Neymar's goal. He is in line to play in his first European final.

Xavi Hernández and Andrés Iniesta

Xavi Hernández
After 17 years, the midfield metronome is hoping his final outing for Barcelona before he joins al-Sadd SC in Qatar will bring him a 25th piece of silverware with the club. "This one is special because it's my last game for Barcelona," he said. "I want to lift that trophy and dedicate it to all of Barcelona."

Ivan RakitićMan of the match as Sevilla FC won the 2014 UEFA Europa League final, this is the Croatian's first UEFA Champions League decider. "I played in a European final last year, but this is different," he said. "I will try to not think too much about it and try to prepare as well as possible."

Lionel MessiThe Argentinian has played all but 23 minutes of Barcelona's UEFA Champions League campaign and if he scores in Berlin he will become the first player to find the net in three UEFA Champions League finals, having registered in the 2009 and 2011 wins against Manchester United FC.

How does the melting ice affect the environment?

Hopefully in the future, people can look at a map and see the same amount of land on it as we do today. It may sound strange, but global warming has effects on the many glaciers and icecaps on the Earth, some of which are much more complex than just more water on the Earth. Global warming has to do with a number of things. Most of it is from pollution. The increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is one of the causes. (Venus’ atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide, and it is the hottest planet in the solar system. http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/V/Venusatmos.html) Automobiles are a major cause along with factories. The greenhouse effect is how gases in the atmosphere, like water vapor, carbon dioxide and others trap energy from the sun, and it there was not that effect from the gases the Earth’s surface would be sixty degrees Fahrenheit colder.                  According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the EPA, in the last 100 years the sea level has risen about 6 to 8 inches. A variety of things are causing this rise but the thing that is triggering all this seems to many like global warming. Antarctica accounts for 90 percent of the world’s ice, which is where many icebergs come from. Icebergs are formed when ice breaks off from these glaciers. It is one theory that rising temperatures cause more ice to break off from these glaciers and fall into the ocean displacing water, which could cause sea levels to rise. But even this could not account for all the change in Earth’s sea level. Antarctica is covered in ice about 2,133 meters of ice. If this were all to suddenly rise the ocean could rise about 200 feet. But that could never happen in the near future, because the temperature of Antarctica is about -37 degrees Celsius. Another organization, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, estimated in their report that the oceans could rise 90 centimeters by the year 2100. Which could have a profound effect on cities on the oceans, especially during storms.                But there are also people and places affected by the melting. For instance, in Bangladesh, over one million people have been displaced do to the rising sea and the rising rivers: the Ganges and the Bramaputra. It is expected that if no action is taken, that thirteen million more people will lose their homes in the near future. There is also a vital rice crop there, which would be lost. This would only take one meter of rising to do all this damage. There are also many island nations; like Tuvalu, that is no more than fifteen feet above sea level in any place, but most of it isn’t even a meter high. Much of the island is already extensively flooded.              There is another extreme case of melting, but it isn’t at the poles, its right at the equator in Africa. These mountain peaks covered in ice have been told about for centuries, but they are expected to be gone in twenty years if nothing is done.  Richard Taylor of the University College of London Department of Geography concludes that these changes in air temperatures in the Rwenzori Mountains that are causing the glaciers to recede are letting mosquitoes to live in areas that they couldn’t live because of the environment, and they are now spreading disease; malaria specifically. He also says that these mountains are natural barriers between neighboring tribes that could enslave and kill each other if they weren’t separated by these mountain caps like they have been for generations. But there is also a danger to the native wildlife. Many species of endangered animals live there like: elephants, chimpanzees. There are also about eighty-nine species of birds that are in danger as well. These ice caps also contribute to the Nile River. The Greek Philosopher Ptolmey referred to these as "The Mountains of the Moon whose snows feed the lakes, sources of the Nile."                  It is my opinion that these affects of the melting ice caps and glaciers and the consequent rising of the oceans is a big problem. Its just one of the ways that global warming is negatively affecting our environment and it affects are damaging to just about every nation on Earth, but also to Earth’s wildlife. It is our responsibility to identify the problem and stop it, so that no one has to have this affect their lives. The melting of glaciers and ice caps may not seem so damaging, but it’s a major warning sign of what can occur with global warming, and it affects every aspect of life on Earth.
