Real Madrid captured an unprecedented 11th Champions League title with a victory here Saturday night on penalties over crosstown rival Atletico Madrid, which had rallied to tie the final at 1-1 late in second half. Two years after coming within seconds of the Champions crown in Lisbon, now it was Real Madrid's turn to rue a late equalizer. Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane, who turned around the club's fortunes when he took over midway through the season, did not have to wait long for his first big crown. Sergio Ramos put Real Madrid ahead in the 15th minute when Toni Kroos sent a ball in from the left side on a free kick and Gareth Bale headed it onward to Atletico Madrid's goal. "I feel a little sad that they've put in so much effort and haven't been able to win, but I'm convinced they'll win the Champions League," Perez said.
