    Real Madrid Takes Home the Champions League Trophy

    Evan BerlingBy Evan BerlingMay 28, 2016Updated:May 29, 20163 Mins Read

    Real Madrid won their 11th Champions League Trophy in dramatic fashion, scoring early in the match and converting all five of their penalties at the end of the match.

     

    The game started off with a huge fifth minute save by Jan Oblak off a touch by Casemiro off a free kick from Gareth Bale.

     

    Defender Sergio Ramos scored in the 15th minute off a Toni Kroos free kick flicked on by Bale. There was an offside shout from the Atletico players, but not called by the side judge.

     

    Atletico put some pressure on around the 30th minute and earned a corner but were unable to put a chance on target.

     

    Real keeper Keylor Navas had great save by off a volley from Antoine Griezmann in the 35th minute.

     

    The final five minutes of first half Atletico had a long run of possession. The end of the first half could not have come at a worse time, they had solid build up play and got off a few shots.

    Just off the second half kick Pepe fouled Fernando Torres in the box for a penalty. Greizmann missed the penalty off the bottom of the crossbar bouncing out past the box.

     

    Daniel Carvajal was injured in a tackle and had to be subbed off for Danilo.

     

    Atletico had a run of close chances right after the substitution putting three shots just off target.

     

    Karim Benzema had a shot off a counter attack in the 70th minute, but was closed down well by Oblak. He was then taken off for Lucas Vázquez.

     

    Real had a great run of shots drawing Oblak out of his goal but Bale couldn’t put the ball past any of the Atletico defenders in goal. On the ensuing possession Juanfran had a great cross to half-time substitute Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco to equalize at 1-1 in the 79th minute.

     

    At the end of stoppage time Sergio Ramos took out Carrasco on a counter and earned a yellow. Gabi’s reaction to Ramos not getting a red card earned him a yellow. The ensuing Atletico free kick was cleared by Madrid ending regulation 1-1.

     

    In extra time Real had a good chance off a corner that Ronaldo put into the ground and bounced harmlessly into the hands of Oblak. Then there were a few good chances for each team but no goals.

    In penalties each team made their first three and Real made their fourth before Juanfran puts his off the post. Ronaldo put home the final penalty to win the trophy 5-3.
