Real Madrid has won their 11th Champions League with a 1-1 (5-3) win over Atlético Madrid.

Real Madrid scored in the 15th minute when Toni Kroos' free kick was flicked with a header by Gareth Bale that was knocked in right in front of goal by Sergio Ramos, who appeared to be offsides on the replay.

Atleti and Real Madrid almost evenly shared possession in the first half with Zinedine Zidane's side enjoying the better combination play with some sublime passing.

Shortly after the second half begun, Fernando Torres won a penalty kick off a clumsy challenge from Pepe, but Antoine Griezmann hit the crossbar to preserve Real Madrid's 1-0 lead.

Real Madrid was unable to enjoy the same degree of space though they did have several promising goal scoring opportunities, most notably Karim Benzema on the right.

In the 79th minute, Yannick Carrasco converted a cross from Juanfran right in front of Keylor Navas.

With very few opportunities of substance for either side in extra time, the match went into penalties.

Lucas Vasquez converted the first penalty for Real Madrid comfortably, while Griezmann redeemed himself from his earlier miss going low. Marcelo, like Vasquez, went right to beat Oblak. Gabi kept Atleti level with a strong strike to the upper left hand corner. Gareth Bale hesitated before going to the right again for Real Madrid before Saul similarly hesitated before beating Navas left. Ramos continued Real Madrid's attack of Oblak's left. 

Juanfran hit the left post for the first miss of penalties.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was largely a passenger in the match, ended it with his coolly executed penalty. Similar to the 2014 Champions League Final, Ronaldo immediately removed his shirt after scoring the match winner.

Atleti clearly had the more difficult path to the final, defeating both Barcelona and Bayern, while Real Madrid needed a comeback against Wolfsburg and then fairly comfortably beat a listless Manchester City club in the semifinals.
