Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid: Score, Reaction for 2016 Champions League Final

Real Madrid needed penalties to beat rivals Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday, as the match ended 1-1 in regulation before Los Blancos grabbed a 5-3 win in the shootout.

Sergio Ramos gave Real an early lead with a controversial goal, as the Spaniard appeared to be offside, and Los Blancos largely controlled the first half. Atletico came out firing after half-time, however, and Antoine Griezmann missed a penalty just minutes after the break.

Real had a handful of chances to double their lead but failed to make the most of them, and Yannick Carrasco bagged an equaliser with 11 minutes left to play.
