Three quickfire goals in extra time gave Real Madrid a 4-1 win over city rivals Atletico in Lisbon Saturday to win the European Champions League for the 10th time . Diego Godin put Atletico ahead in the 36th minute and it took an injury time equalizer from Sergio Ramos to rescue Real and force the extra half hour . Atletico held out until the second half of the added time until Gareth Bale headed Real ahead after superb work by Angel Di Maria . Marcelo and Cristiano Ronaldo , with a penalty , his record 17th goal in the Champions League this season , rubbed salt into the wound for Atletico , who had been bidding for a La Liga/Champions League double . Coach Diego Simeone , unhappy at the added minutes in regulation play , summed up their frustration as he ran on to the pitch to confront Real 's Raphael Varane after the final goal and had to be restrained by stewards . It was a sorry end to a magnificent season for Los Rojiblancos , but ultimately the quality of Real , epitomized by the world 's most expensive player Bale , which prevailed . It was the Welshman 's 22nd goal of the season and sixth in the Champions League but surely the most important of his career . `` This is what every footballer dreams of and it does n't come any bigger than that , '' the Welshman told Sky Sports after his side 's triumph . For Real Madrid 's Carlo Ancelotti it was his third Champions League triumph as a coach , equaling the record of Liverpool 's Bob Paisley . His counterpart Simeone had gambled on the fitness of his star striker Diego Costa , who has been hampered by a hamstring injury , but it backfired when the Spanish international limped off after nine minutes . He was replaced by Adrian Lopez but Atletico initially took his departure in its stride , frustrating Real 's attacking menace in a scrappy first half . It came to life in a passage of play which first saw Bale poke an effort wide of the post after running through the Atletico defense . The Real fans in the Stadium of Light looked skywards in disbelief but they were soon in total despair after a mistake by Spanish international goalkeeper Iker Casillas . Real failed to clear a corner which was lifted back into the area and Uruguay 's Godin beat the onrushing Casillas to the ball to score with a flicked header . Casillas desperately scrambled back to make amends for his error of judgment but could not keep the ball out of the net . World Player of the Year Ronaldo had been kept quiet in the first half but was more prominent after the break , forcing Thibaut Courtois to make a fine save from a free kick then narrowly failing to connect with a header in front of goal . Bale also started to live up to his price tag , charging through from the right before scuffing his effort wide , while a combination with Ronaldo saw another chance to begging . But with time running out , Ramos connected perfectly with a Luka Modric corner to add to his two goals from the semifinal win over defending champions Bayern Munich and give his side a precious lifeline , of which it took full advantage . It was Real 's first Champions League title since 2002 and to the milestone of 'La Decima '' -- extending its record number of wins in Europe 's premier club competition .
