92.48 reads the tattoo on Sergio Ramos' calf.

With Real Madrid chasing that elusive Decima (10th title), having spent 11 years in relative European wilderness, their 'noisy' neighbours Atletico Madrid for a good hour of football. And with Diego Simeone having bred a tendency of defending 1-0 leads with everything they had, this looked in the bag for Los Rojiblancos.

Then with two minutes and 12 seconds of added on time - added on time - to go, Sergio Ramos rose highest to meet Luka Modric's corner - and the rest, as they say, is history.

Broken, Atletico collapsed in extra time and allowed Gareth Bale, Marcelo, and Cristiano Ronaldo (via the medium of a penalty) to add sheen to the final score.

In the 90, though, this was arguably Real Madrid's toughest test in a major Champions League game.
