Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid - UCL 2013/14
Sergio Ramos heads in the equalizer that gave Real hope for La Decima

The scoreline of this classic UCL final might not reflect the true nature of the match. The stage for this finale was set, the atmosphere was intense with Real Madrid hunting for their long-desired - "La Decima". Their noisy neighbours - Atletico Madrid were eyeing their first continental glory.

Atletico got an unexpected lead when Diego Godin headed home over an advancing Iker Casillas to give Los Rojiblancos the all-important first goal in the 36th minute.

Following that Atletico focused on defending. When all hopes seemed over for Los Merengues, the man known for late goals- Sergio Ramos rose above everyone and headed the equalizer in the 93rd minute.

The late equalizer left Diego Simeone & his Atleti players short on confidence and resilience. Real Madrid dominated the extra-time period with Gareth Bale, Marcelo and Cristiano Ronaldo scoring apiece.
