The 2014 UEFA Champions League final was one of the most interesting finals played in recent times. It is one of those matches which no football fan can ever forget.  The 90 minutes of the game was over and Athletico Madrid were 1-0 up. The game now went into the injury time and it appeared that La Decima will remain a dream for the Los Blancos. However then arrived captain courageous,  Sergio Ramos who scored the equalizer with his brilliant header in the 92nd  minute of the game.  As a result the game went into extra - time. 

In extra time we witnessed something incredible. Athletico Madrid known for its solid defense were torn apart by the Real attack. Bale, Marcelo and Ronaldo all scored and the final score read Real Madrid 4 - 1 Athletico Madrid. La Decima was finally achieved. 

Furthermore Cristiano Ronaldo became the top scorer of the tournament with 17 goals which eventually helped him in winning his 3rd Ballon d'or.
