Real
Madrid have won the Champions League for the 11th time, beating
Atlético Madrid 5-3 on penalties, with Cristiano Ronaldo hitting the
winning spot-kick after a 1-1 draw.
After
successful kicks for Real by Lucas Vázquez, Marcelo, Gareth Bale and
Sergio Ramos, and for Atlético by Antoine Griezmann, Gabi and Saúl,
Juanfran’s penalty was saved and Ronaldo did the rest
Real
took the lead in the 15th minute when Sergio Ramos turned the ball in
from close range after Bale flicked on a Toni Kroos free-kick.
Atlético
were awarded a penalty early in the second half, after Torres cleverly
got across Pepe, let the ball run past him and the defender bundled into
him. But Griezmann’s effort rebounded off the crossbar.
However,
with 11 minutes left, shortly after Bale had an effort cleared of the
line, Griezmann lofted a ball down the right channel for Juanfran, who
volleyed across goal to find Yannick Carrasco, who smashed it home.
Neither
side was able to score again in either normal time or the extra
half-hour, and the second all-Madrid final – two years after Real won
the first – went to spot-kicks.
