Real Madrid are European champions for a tenth time after a 4-1 win over city rivals Atlético, although as normal time came to an end it looked like Atlético were set to lift the trophy.
Godín put Atlético ahead and it wasn’t until the third minute of time added on that Sergio Ramos equalised and sent the match into extra time.
Bale, who up to this point had had a veritable stinker of a game, suddenly came good and headed Real into the lead. Marcelo made it 3.1 and then a bit of a dive from Ronaldo led to a penalty which the striker calmly converted to make the final score 4-1 for Real Madrid.
Di Maria was tireless performer throughout and was the ‘man of the match’ by a long way. Good entertainment and over 120 minutes Real were the better team.
