At the end of suspense and a final of the highest level , Real Madrid won the Champions League by beating Atletico Madrid (1-1, 5 tab 3 ) Saturday in Milan. The Merengues won their 11th C1. Zinedine Zidane is
.sacred to him for the first time as a coach. For men of Diego Simeone , the disappointment is huge
At the end of suspense, after experiencing all the emotions , it took a penalty shootout to decide between the two Madrid clubs after a final unsustainable . And that is the Real, as so often happens on the European scene , who had the last word. Merengue club won its 11th title of European champion by defeating Atlético (1-1, 5-3 t.a.b. ) Saturday in Milan. Cristiano Ronaldo converted the penalty of victory after the failure of the .unfortunate Juanfran
For the French coach , it is a real achievement , only six months after its debut on the bench of the first team of Real. His players used their reserves to go get after yet been quickly led to the score . With their efficiency on set pieces . Jan Oblak made a miracle on a free kick taken by Gareth Bale Karim Benzema (6th) . But he could not do anything to Sergio Ramos, slightly offside when deceive the goalkeeper Atlético after a free kick from Toni Kroos astutely deflected Bale (1-0, 15th)
Oblak was decisive ... before the kicks but Diego Simeone's men are perfectly resumed after the break. As against Bayern, Argentine coach made the right choice by starting Yannick Carrasco from the start of the second period to change its scheme to a 4-3-3. The Colchoneros imposed an infernal pressing to Madrid, but realistic at first. Antoine Griezmann has dispatched a penalty on the bar (46th) while Stefan Savic (54th), Koke (58th) and Saul Niguez (59th) also failed to address face to Keylor Navas. If Atlético came back in this game, he has a lot due to Jan Oblak. The rojiblanco goalkeeper has literally prevented the Real to the break, interposing themselves first before Benzema (70th) and twice before Cristiano Ronaldo (78th, 78th), before being supplemented off the line by one of its defenders (78th). And the cons, Juanfran operated a Gabi opening marvel to send a pass to Carrasco, whose recovery has left no chance of Keylor Navas (1-1, 79th).
But the success of Oblak has not exceeded the 120th minute. That of Atlético also while Colchoneros seemed better armed for the extension because Zidane had made his third and final change before the equalization of Atlético. Real did have the last opportunity to win , even on set pieces , Pepe ( 86th ) and Ronaldo ( 94th ) . Without success. He will not have to regret them. Because at the end of the suspense the fate chose to go after Atlético. Once again.
