On the biggest club game in football, what were the ratings like and who shone most in the final?
Diego Godin repeated his heroics of the previous weekend to put Atletico ahead after his header completely caught out Iker Casillas.
The La Liga champions defended manfully throughout and looked like they would hold on for victory within 90 minutes.
But, Sergio Ramos followed up his double in the semi-finals with another bullet header to send the game to extra time.
Gareth Bale redeemed his poor night by scoring the goal that gave Real the title with a simple header at the back post.
Marcelo and a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty rounding off things for Real and heaped misery of Atletico who really didn't deserve to end the final that way.
The victory meant Real claimed their 10th Champions League title.
