UNLADECIMA-REAL MADRID CROWNED THE CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE FOR THE 11th TIME AFTER NERVY PENALTY SHOOT OUTS WIN OVER CITY RIVALS, ATLETI
CRISTIANO RONALDO smashed in the winning penalty as Real Madrid claimed their 11th European title.
Juanfran heartbreakingly hit the post with the second-last spotkick — after both sides had scored all their efforts — and the three-time Ballon d’Or winner only had to do the simple thing and strike to take the trophy.
Sergio Ramos’ controversial goal in normal time — which looked offside — was cancelled out by Yannick Carrasco’s second-half strike, who sprinted over and snogged his missus Noemie Happart.

But only after Atleti’s Antoine Griezmann crashed a spot kick against the woodwork.
Carrasco’s equaliser saved the Frenchman’s blushes though and put the tie in a stalemate for the remainder of extra time.
Gareth Bale, who had been a creative spark for Real, picked up a nasty bout of cramp only a few minutes after the 90.
He was kept on the pitch by Zinedine Zidane, though, who wanted him to take a penalty.
