Atlético Madrid supporters will feel like they're experiencing some degree of deja vu. While they took the lead in the last Champions League final they played against Real Madrid, the two men that eventually guided Los Merengues to victory were the two that combined on this goal. Cristiano Ronaldo might be the best player in Real Madrid's history, but Ramos and Bale are the squad's two current clutch performers in finals.
This goal gave Real a 1-0 lead. If you can’t see the goal above and you’re in the UK, the UK version is here.
