Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg will officiate the Champions League final between Madrid rivals Real and Atletico on May 28, Uefa has confirmed.

The San Siro clash will be a rematch of the 2014 final, which Real won 4-1 after Sergio Ramos' late goal took the game to extra time.

Clattenburg - tasked with handling the final by Uefa's Referees Committee - has already officiated three Champions League matches involving the fierce rivals this season, overseeing two Atletico matches and one Real tie.

Uefa's announcement caps an impressive end to the campaign for Clattenburg, who will also referee the FA Cup final between Crystal Palace and Manchester United on May 21 a week before the Champions League showpiece.

Clattenburg's assistant referees will be Simon Beck and Jake Collin, while Anthony Taylor, Andre Marriner will both serve as additional assistants.

The 41-year-old has been selected by Uefa to officiate at Euro 2016 in France this summer, and was in charge of Chelsea's recent Premier League clash against Tottenham which saw nine Spurs players booked - a top-flight record.

Clattenburg last month described being appointed to referee the FA Cup final as an "honour" and a "massive achievement".

Meanwhile, Liverpool's Europa League final against Sevilla in Basel on May 18 will be overseen by Swedish referee Jonas Eriksson.
