Arguably the biggest decision to have gone in Real Madrid's favour in the Champions League came when the side faced off against local rivals Atletico in the final of the 2015/16 edition.

While Real Madrid came into the final on the back of a 1-0 aggregate win against English opponents Manchester City, Atletico had sneaked past Bayern on the away goals rule.

In the final, Real opened the scoring through Sergio Ramos, but in hindsight, the goal shouldn't have stood. Ramos got on the end of a Gareth Bale flick-on, but he was in an offside position in the first place.

While Atletico would go on to equalise through Carrasco, they would fall short in the ensuing penalty shootout.

In this case, it is impossible to blame the referee or the linesman since it was an extremely tight call, one which could have gone either way, but ultimately, it did go Real Madrid's way.
