#4 The famous La Decima celebration in 2014
It was the fifth time the noisy neighbours Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid came head-to-head in the 2013-14 season and this time around, the prestigious Champions League trophy was for the taking. Atlético Madrid had wrapped up the La Liga title a week prior to this game and were so close to a remarkable double. With the kind of defence Atlético had at their disposal, a one-goal lead in the final felt sufficient to get them through. It nearly proved enough, only for Sergio Ramos to come up with a historic injury-time header and force an additional 30 minutes. Little we knew on what was about to come later. A ruthless, surgical Real Madrid side-swept aside the Roji Blancos in the extra time, adding 3 more goals to their tally, to clinch their 10th European Cup, the 'La Decima'.
Though he got on the score sheet through a well-taken penalty, nearly half of the Real Madrid team could boast of having had a better game than Ronaldo. Yet, he grabbed all the headlines for his shirtless antics in front of the Lisbon crowd. Ronaldo pulled his shirt off, flexed his muscles as if he is posing in a photoshoot for a Men's Health magazine. He also screamed in ecstasy after scoring in the dying moments of the game. More evidence that even with little involvement, Ronaldo shines brighter than almost any superstar out there. His antics were reminiscent of a Hollywood movie climax scene, and well, for a football enthusiast, it was more thrilling than that, to be honest.
