Real Madrid beat Atletico on penalties to lift 11th UCL trophy

Real Madrid are Champions League winners again for the 11th
time after their 5-3 penalty win over City rivals Atletico Madrid in
Saturday’s final in San Siro.

Ronaldo scored the last minute after Real Madrid were forced to extra time off a late equaliser from their rivals.
 

Yannick Ferreira Carrasco cancelled out a Sergio Ramos opener in the
79th minute, before the two teams played out a goalless extra-time
period to force penalties in the European final.

Each of the first seven takers netted in the shootout, but Juanfran’s
miss allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to step forward and win another crown
for Real Madrid courtesy of a 5-3 penalty success.
