Real Madrid lift La Undecima

#4 Sergio Ramos – A man of big occasions

Sergio Ramos comes back to haunt Atletico Madrid

Real Madrid skipper Sergio Ramos was once again a catalyst to his side’s victory as the Spaniard proved he’s a man for the big occasions like these.

In Lisbon 2 year ago, Ramos struck the header deep in the added time that helped Real Madrid take the 2014 final to extra-time and eventually triumph 4-1. His goal spurred Los Blancos on as they ripped Atletico to shreds in extra time. Now in Milan, the captain scored the opener this time to become the first ever defender to score in 2 Champions League finals. He also stood and converted a penalty in the shootout.

With Benzema and Ronaldo struggling to impose themselves in the game, the captain stepped up. Yet again.
