#3: REAL MADRID 4-1 ATLETICO MADRID (2013-14)
Round: Final
Aggregate: Real Madrid 4-1 Atletico Madrid
La Decima. The ultimate dream. That is what Real Madrid kept in mind when they played every match in the Champions League that season. With the arrival of record signing Gareth Bale, Los Blancos looked deathly frightening, with the Welshman and Cristiano Ronaldo extremely menacing on either of the flanks. Atletico Madrid, in spite of all that, had been a revelation that season, winning the League by trumping their cross-town rivals.
The match took an unexpected turn when Diego Godin chipped the ball over Real keeper Iker Cassilas, making it 1-0 for Atletico. The match went on until the 90th minute, with the Los Blancos taking a number of shots on goal. But, their desperate attempts didn't come to fruition.
It was in the 93rd minute in stoppage time when Sergio Ramos headed the ball into the net and scored an equalizer. Real Madrid breathed again, as the fixture went into extra time. Then it was Gareth Bale who made his mark on an Angel Di Maria pass, heading the ball past Thibaut Courtois.
Eight minutes letter, Marcelo killed Atletico's hope of coming back by scoring the third goal for Los Blancos. Curtains over the match were brought down by Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a penalty in the last minute of extra time, thus winning the La Decima.
