#8 Real Madrid 4-1 Atletico Madrid - 2014

Soccer - UEFA Champions League Final - Real Madrid CF vs Club Atletico de Madrid
Sergio Ramos scoring 'that' goal

In a Madrid derby, Real was looking for their tenth European crown or 'La Decima' as it was labeled.

Atletico was playing in just their second final and the first one in more than forty years. Atletico had won the league which was an incredible achievement in itself for their limited resources but they were hoping to go one better under coach Diego Simeone.

Diego Godin put Atletico in front in the first half and as the game progressed their hope was turning to reality.

Until that moment. The moment when Sergio Ramos leaped like a graceful gazelle and planted a header past Thibaut Courtois. The clock read 92:48 and the scoreboard 1-1.

Atleti hearts were shattered and their morale drooped. Real bulldozed over their shaken opponents and scored three in extra time courtesy of Gareth Bale, Marcelo, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

La Decima was achieved by decimating their derby rivals in the cruelest way imaginable.
