The UEFA champions league final match ended with a penalty shoot out between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. After 120 minutes of activity
finished in a 1-1 draw, Atletico's Juanfran was the sad man to miss, permitting
Cristiano Ronaldo to hit home the definitive spot kick as Real won 5-3 on
penalties.
Atletico emerged ready to take
care of business after the break, yet Antoine Griezmann slammed a penalty
against the crossbar as the Rojiblancos looked set to tumble to another
agonizing defeat against their city rivals in club football's greatest fixture. Atletico hearts were broken again
with Ronaldo's shirtless festivals and tears from Atletico fans bringing back
recollections from the defeat in Lisbon.
Real verged on taking an early lead when Bale fired in a free kick that was turned toward goal by Karim Benzema a couple of yards out, however Jan Oblak made a pivotal save with his legs.

The leap forward arrived in the 15th
minute, however, with Toni Kroos' free kick flicked on by Bale before Ramos
nudged his exertion under Oblak from short proximity.
In spite of Ramos seeming to have
strayed barely offside, the goal remained to make him the first defender to
score in two Champions League finals.
At the flip side, Griezmann shot
directly at Keylor Navas twice before sending another effort barely wide as he
endeavored to lift Atletico from what was a level first-half execution.
Real's triumph implies Los
Blancos are currently 11-time European champions, with Zinedine Zidane becoming
the seventh man to win the tournament as both player and coach after just five
months in charge.
