Sergio Ramos gave Real the lead in the 15th minute but, after Antoine Griezmann missed a penalty, Atletico levelled late on through Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco.Heading into extra-time the momentum seemed to be with Atletico, who were looking to avenge their 2014 final defeat to Real. However, neither side could find a winner and Juanfran hit the post with Atleticos fourth penalty to give Cristiano Ronaldo the chance to seal victory for Real.Atletico blew it in extra-time, said La Liga expert Gibson on Sky Sports. They were so much better in the second half of the game and they looked more likely to win it in 90 minutes. Antoine Griezmann missed a penalty in regular time They looked fitter and sharper, but in extra-time fear took over and gripped both teams. Real Madrid were there to be beaten and they showed great character and resilience to stick in there.Three or four players were hobbling in extra-time, even after taking penalties, and they really had to work hard.Real have now won the competition 11 times while Zinedine Zidane is one of only seven men to lift the trophy as a player and coach.Five months in charge and he has won the Champions League, said Gibson. Many managers at the top of the game for years dont get near it. Its been an extraordinary turnaround in a topsy-turvy season for Real Madrid and it has ended on a high. Cristiano Ronaldo lifts the trophy We underestimate the desire and spirit of the elite players that play for Real. They have had so much experience, win trophy after trophy, but they dug deep tonight.We associate spirit and work-rate with Atletico, but Real showed that tonight.While it was celebration time for Real, it was more heartbreak for Atletico, who have lost three times in the final.But Gibson does not expect manager Diego Simeone to depart and thinks they have a bright future.This squad is in really good shape and has been built for the future. It has good balance and young players. Why would he want to leave? He has so much to accomplish, particularly in this competition.

Perhaps their first trip to the city of Winnipeg in 16 years can serve as the shakeup they need.WASHINGTON -- Secretary of State John Kerry, the most powerful politician in the house, performed a ceremonial puck drop to send the Olympians on their way. Alex Ovechkin, the biggest hockey star in the arena, scored his league-leading 40th goal to give his team the lead in the third period. Set aside those two larger-than-life names for a moment, however, and look at the trio who occupy the score sheet for the crucial tying goal early in the third period of the Washington Capitals 4-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night. Patrick Wey (second NHL game). Julien Brouillette (first NHL game). Tom Wilson (second NHL goal). "It was a simple play, but it was nice that we ended up scoring," Wey said. "And Im really excited." Simple but effective. Wey passed cross-ice to Brouillette, who then deliberately shot wide of the net to set up a carom off the boards that eventually made its way to Wilson. "The play Brou made, banking it off the boards like that, I thought that was a great play," Washington coach Adam Oates said. "And obviously it worked, the bounce was right. ... It gave us a lot of life." Wey and Brouillette had arrived in town the night before, having been recalled from Hershey of the AHL to serve as the third defensive pairing because the Capitals had run out of healthy bodies. "From what I expected," Oates said, "they were fantastic." The Wey-Brouillette-Wilson goal made the score 2-2, setting the stage for Ovechkin. The Russian forward lifted the puck over a pile of bodies in the crease with 12:14 remaining, following up after Nicklas Backstrom had taken two whacks at a rebound before sliding into goaltender Ondrej Pavelec. Troy Brouwer then added his second goal of the game in the closing minutes, and Braden Holltby made 34 saves for the Capitals, who are trying to generate at least a modicum of momentum headed into the Olympic break. Kyle Palmieri Jersey. Washington had dropped 10 of its previous 13, including a 1-0 shutout loss to the New York Islanders on Tuesday. Bryan Little and Dustin Byfuglien scored, and Pavelec stopped 26 shots for the Jets, who had a three-game winning streak snapped. Winnipeg dominated play in the second period before allowing three goals in the third, dropping the team to 9-3 since coach Claude Noel was fired on Jan. 12 and replaced by Paul Maurice. "I think they just did a little bit to us what weve been doing to (other) teams," Maurice said. "They weathered that second-period storm." With the NHLs Olympic break beginning after Saturdays games, Kerry was on hand to recognize the four players from each team headed to Sochi. He then dropped the puck at centre ice between two U.S. Olympians, Winnipegs Blake Wheeler and Washingtons John Carlson. Kerry also met with Capitals coaches and players in the locker room before the game. "I had a good talk with him," Oates said. "But hes obviously a very busy man. He comes with his entourage; its pretty tough to have a chat." NOTES: Littles goal was actually put into the net by Washingtons Martin Erat, something the Czech forward has yet to do for his own team this season. Erat has 21 assists but no goals for the Capitals. ... Oates said Holtby was in goal because scheduled starter Michal Neuvirth wasnt feeling well. ... Brouillette and Wey were needed because D John Erskine (off-season knee surgery) was given a rest day and D Mike Green was still sidelined with a concussion. ... Carlson played in his 272nd consecutive game, breaking Calle Johanssons Capitals record for a defenceman.
