If there was a lesson to be learned from Saturday’s UEFA Champions League final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid it is this: the reign of Spain is clearly now insane.
Real Madrid won the title, 5-3, on penalty kicks, with Cristiano Ronaldo, physically drained after playing more than 120 minutes, ending an emotional evening by calmly slotting his shot to the back of the net, giving Real Madrid a record 11th continental championship in dramatic fashion.
It also marked the second time in three years that Real Madrid has beaten its cross-town rival in a Champions League final that went to overtime.
