The stadium hosted its first official match on Saturday as Atleti took on Malaga and has been confirmed as the venue for the upcoming showpiece clash
The Wanda Metropolitano, Atletico Madrid's new home, has been awarded hosting rights for the 2019 Champions League final.
UEFA confirmed at their ExCo in Nyon on Wednesday that Atletico's 67,000-seater stadium has been chosen to host the showpiece match for next season's competition.


A UEFA statement read: "Madrid's Estadio Metropolitano has been selected to host the 2019 UEFA Champions League final on 1 June of that year.
"Madrid will become only the second city to have held five or more European Cup finals after London, and the fourth to have hosted the event in separate stadiums after Amsterdam, Paris and Munich."
This season's tournament will culminate with the final in Kiev.
UEFA also revealed the 2019 Europa League final will be played in Baku's Olympic Stadium, after Azerbaijan missed out to Atletico's new home in the Champions League selection process.
Meanwhile, that year's Super Cup will be hosted in Besiktas' stadium.
