It’s a majestic moment at the San Siro Stadium hosting the UEFA Champions League Final between Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid. The City of Milan is the only city having 2 teams winning the Champions League previously: AC Milan and Inter Milan. It’s San Siro best known as “La Scala del Calcio.” Special guest Italian singer Andrea Bocelli in the opening ceremony. The match decided in penalties after playing regular 90 minutes and 2 extra time of 15 minutes each. It is forward Cristiano Ronaldo to convert the winner penalty with a right footed shot to give Real Madrid their 11th UEFA Champions League trophy.

Atletico de Madrid had the chance to equalize the score for the 1 -1 in the 46th minute. Referee giving a penalty to Atletico conceded by Real Madrid defender Pepe after a foul on Atletico Madrid forward Fernando Torres. Real Madrid goalkeeper gets a yellow card. Things complicated for Atletico because Antoine Griezmann failed to convert the penalty after his left footed shot hits the bar. Incredible. Something not easy to digest.
