Real Madrid
secured an historic 10th European title as they came from behind to secure a
thrilling 4-1 win over Atletico Madrid in Lisbon on Saturday.
Diego Godin
capitalised on a dreadful error from Iker
Casillas to head home shortly before the end of the first half, but Ramos powered home from a corner in the
dying minutes of normal time to keep Madrid's Decima dream alive.
With less than 10 minutes remaining in additional time, Bale headed into the top corner after Angel Di Maria's shot was saved by Thibaut Courtois before Marcelo buried a late left-footed
strike and Cristiano Ronaldo scored
a penalty to seal Madrid's first Champions
League trophy since 2002.
Victory means Ancelotti
has now won Europe's top prize as coach on three occasions, making him the
most successful in the modern tournament's history, while Atletico were left to
rue another late goal in European football's showpiece. The club's only other
final appearance, in 1974, saw Bayern
Munich force a replay which they won 4-0 - with a 120th-minute goal.
