Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid story of the final

Godin gives Atleti the lead

The hostility of a cross-city rivalry was heightened by what was at stake in the 2014 UEFA Champions League final.

For Atletico, this was their chance to be Europe's conquerors for the first time in their history. For Real Madrid, it was 'La Decima' - their elusive 10th European crown.

Diego Simeone's outfit were notoriously difficult to break down and with their remarkable intensity stifling Los Blancos in the opening exchanges, Atleti got the opening they craved.

The industrious Los Colchoneros made their breakthrough courtesy of an opportunistic header from Diego Godin, who caught an indecisive Iker Casillas in no man's land and the Spanish goalkeeper was unable to backpedal quickly enough to claw the ball away before it crossed the line.

Ramos to the rescue

A goal to the good, Atleti were well-rehearsed in preserving a slender lead and their low block proved to be a source of persistent frustration for Real Madrid. Chances were fashioned, of which several went the way of Gareth Bale, and yet Simeone's men consistently had the answer.

With victory in the palm of Atleti's hands, Real Madrid needed to conjure something special and fast.

Atletico's exceptional resilience was finally broken three minutes into second half stoppage time when Sergio Ramos rose magnificently to direct Luka Modric's corner beyond Thibaut Courtois. Ramos was mobbed, and there was no one more grateful inside the stadium than Casillas, who showered his centre-back with kisses at the full-time whistle.

Real's elation was Atletico's misery and the psychological effects of such a dramatic goal were telling in the aftermath. Where Los Blancos were galvanised, Atletico had visibly wilted.

Ruthless Real make Atleti pay in extra time

Ancelotti's men showed little mercy in their pursuit of UEFA Champions League glory.

Unshackled from the pressure, Bale finally made good on another gilt-edged chance presented to him. As Angel Di Maria's enterprising run saw him slice through Atletico's rearguard, the Argentine's effort was deflected by Courtois' boot into the path of Bale who nodded home from an acute angle.

As Atletico crumbled in the wake of their deficit, Real Madrid were unsympathetic. Marcelo was the next man to get on the scoresheet, marauding into a dangerous area central of Atleti's goal and firing a low drive which Courtois was unable to keep out.

With the UEFA Champions League trophy all but wrapped up, Ronaldo needed to get in on the act before the full-time whistle. Felled in the penalty area, the Portuguese forward dispatched the resulting spot-kick.

Real Madrid became the first team to be crowned European champions 10 times. 'La Decima' had finally been accomplished.
