Real Madrid earned Europe's biggest club trophy for a record 11th time by defeating Atletico Madrid 5-3 on penalties as the Champions League final finished 1-1 after extra-time on Saturday.Sergio Ramos' first-half goal was cancelled out by Yannick Carrasco in the 79th minute, but neither team could find a winner in 120 minutes.
In the shootout, Atletico's Juanfran hit the post and Cristiano Ronaldo delivered the clinching penalty for Real to secure their second Champions League title in three years, and their fifth since 1998.
Real were in control early as Gareth Bale earned a free kick on the side of the box in the sixth minute.
The Welshman played the ball into the six-yard box, where Karim Benzema and Casemiro converged to redirect the ball on target, but Jan Oblak made a point-blank save.
The play was physical from the start, though English referee Mark Clattenburg kept his cards in his pocket until Dani Carvajal forced his hand with a late tackle on Griezmann in the 11th minute.
Real Madrid were in the lead four minutes later after Bale drew another foul 35 yards from goal.
Toni Kroos sent in the free kick, Bale perfectly flicked the ball on with the top of his head, and it fell for Ramos to get the crucial touch past Oblak from close range.
Replays showed Ramos might have been offside after Bale's flick, but the goal stood for the defender's first strike in the Champions League since he equalised against Atletico in the 2014 final.
