Atletico, European football's arch-destroyers, have made a habit of upsetting more technically gifted, financially powerful opponents and once again set out to frustrate and nullify Real. Real captain Ramos, who converted their fourth penalty, said the title was "just reward" for their hard work. Real were pipped to the La Liga title by one point on the final day of the season by arch rivals Barcelona. Real Madrid handed Atletico Madrid another cruel Champions League final defeat when Cristiano Ronaldo's spot kick saw them beat their neighbours on penalties to win Europe's top club trophy for a record 11th time on Saturday. The latter was also against Real when Sergio Ramos scored in stoppage time to set his side up for a 4-1 extra-time win.
