Soccer: Real Madrid secure 10th
European title
25 May, 2014
Real Madrid broke down Atletico
Madrid's resistance in extra time to
win the Champions League final 4-1
on Saturday and finally deliver the
club's record 10th European title.
Real struck three times in the
second period of extra time, through
Gareth Bale's header in the 110th
minute, Marcelo's shot in the 118th
and Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty at
the end.
It was an unfairly lopsided score
after Atletico was on the brink of
victory in regulation time, before
Sergio Ramos headed in an equalizer
for Real in the third minute of
stoppage time.
Diego Godin had put Atletico ahead
when his 35th-minute header
looped into a Real goal left vacant
by captain and veteran goalkeeper
Iker Casillas' reckless rush out.
Atletico -- which had to substitute
striker Diego Costa early in the first
half -- then simply wore out in extra
time as the team failed to follow up
on the Spanish league title it
secured last weekend.
Had Atletico held on for its first
European title, Ronaldo and Bale
would have shared the blame for a
series of missed chances in the 90
minutes.
Instead, the star forwards -- both
signed for world-record transfer fees
-- have added to their storied club's
illustrious history in club football's
most prestigious competition.
Real coach Carlo Ancelotti also ties
the competition record with three
victories as a coach, after winning in
2003 and '07 with AC Milan. The
Italian becomes the fifth coach to
win with two different clubs.
Casillas also won his third
Champions League title, being the
only player remaining from the
club's previous 2000 and '02
victories.
Both teams took chances by fielding
players below full fitness, and a
bruising first half tested their
readiness and resolve.
Ronaldo and Bale were both sent
tumbling by tough tackles within
three minutes, but it was Atletico's
36-goal forward Costa who had to
quit early.
Costa hobbled off after just nine
minutes, making it clear that the
gamble by coach Diego Simeone to
put him in the starting lineup had
backfired. Costa also exited last
weekend's 1-1 draw at Barcelona in
the Spanish league decider and
received a horse placenta treatment
on his right hamstring in midweek.
Four minutes after Bale wasted
Real's best early chance, scooping a
left-foot shot wide from 12 meters
(yards), Godin made Real pay.
Casillas charged from his line when
Juanfran lifted a high ball toward
the penalty spot, and was stranded
when Godin rose to loop a header
toward the empty goal. The ball
crossed the goal line before the
veteran 'keeper could swipe it away.
In a second half of increasingly
hectic Real attacks, Ronaldo tested
Thibaut Courtois with a curling free
kick but was off target with a pair of
headers.
Bale was guilty of a series of miscued
shots with the outside of his left
boot, and a handball in the Atletico
penalty area that added to Real fans'
frustrations.
Atletico was less than two minutes
from the title when its tough
defensive line was finally breached
by Ramos' sixth goal in seven games,
including two in the semifinal
against defending champion Bayern
Munich.
Rejuvenated by its escape, Real
grouped in a team huddle before
extra time, two hours after Atletico
players had been locked in
togetherness ahead of the first
kickoff.
