A trio of goals in extra time has given Real Madrid a 4-1 win over Atlético Madrid in the Champions League final. Atlético's Diego Godin opened the scoring in the first half, before Sergio Ramos equalized with an incredible stoppage time header.

Exhausted after a long game and long season, Atlético tried to hold strong defensively, but Gareth Bale's header gave Real Madrid the lead in the second half of extra time. Madrid rolled on from there, padding their lead with goals form Marcelo and a penalty kick from Cristiano Ronaldo.
