Real Madrid won their 10th Champions League title after beating city rivals Atletico 4-1 after extra time in the final.
On the biggest club game in football, what were the ratings like and who shone most in the final?
Diego Godin repeated his heroics of the previous weekend to put Atletico ahead after his header completely caught out Iker Casillas.
The La Liga champions defended manfully throughout and looked like they would hold on for victory within 90 minutes.
But, Sergio Ramos followed up his double in the semi-finals with another bullet header to send the game to extra time.

Had relatively little to do apart from that.

Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Daniel Carvajal 6 Mistake ten minutes into second half nearly let Villa in but got away with it. Did fine in defence throughout apart from that mistake but lacked quality and thrust going forward.

Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Raphael Varane 6 The 21-year-old French centre-back thrust onto the biggest stage in place of Pepe. Was capable enough at the back and had relatively little to do in the second half.

Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Sergio Ramos 7 The two goal hero of the semi-final let the occasion get the better of him in the first half with frequent arguments and fouls. Needless yellow card in bust up with Raul Garcia. Played almost as an attacker in latter stages as Real pinned their opponents back and got the vital equaliser with just seconds left with his bullet header.

Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Fabio Coentrao 6 Left-back did OK in what could be his last game for the club. Tireless up and down the wing and fine in the tackle. Replaced by Marcelo after fading slightly.

Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Sami Khedira 4 Only played two games in the best part of seven months after back from serious knee injury and showed in lack of sharpness. The German came in for the suspended Xabi Alonso and Real really missed the Spaniard. Yellow carded for nasty foul on Villa and sacrificed after an hour for Isco as Real went for it.

Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Luka Modric 6 Outplayed by Atletico's midfield for much of the contest and often bullied off the ball but provided the perfect corner kick to set up Ramos' equaliser.
GETTY IMAGES
Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Angel Di Maria 8 Brought down by cynical and painful Garcia tackle when seemingly away and running into space and suffered similar again later by Miranda. Looked Real's main threat for large parts of the game and found space regularly. Good game from the Argentine who can be the most pleased with himself out of Real's attacking options. Topped off a great night by helping to set up the winning goal for Bale.

Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Gareth Bale 6 Missed Real's best chance of the first half after stabbing his effort wide and really should have scored. Had another good chance in the second 45 but blasted wide. Then missed a third chance after running clear and again toe-poking wide. Turned around a difficult night completely by scoring the winner with a simple header at the back post.

Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Cristiano Ronaldo 6 Very quiet in first half apart from free-kick which stung Courtois’ palms. Second dead ball effort deflected onto bar with real pace but found the game difficult to get into. Glanced header was a good chance wasted. But on a difficult night for the superstar, he did have the last word with a cool penalty kick to round off things perfectly for Real.

Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Karim Benzema 5 The centre-forward found it hard to get into the game at times but did his best to hold up the ball when he could. No real chances at all to speak of and removed from the game for Morata to try up front.
GETTY IMAGES
Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Marcelo 6 (Substitute) In place of Coentrao and added some pace down the wing. Threw himself at a header but cleared well. Added the third to seal victory with a powerful strike as Atletico looked defeated. Yellow card.
GETTY IMAGES
Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Thibaut Courtois 6 Simple enough saves in the first half and held on to Ronaldo's free-kick well. Was relatively untested in the second half but had no chance at all with Ramos' header. Good save from Di Maria's effort which lead to Bale's winner and unlucky to see it fall perfectly to the Welshman. Helpless for the third and fourth goals.

Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Juanfran 7 Full-back looked happy with Real's front three for first hour but had more problems as the opponents started to put on more pressure. Superb clearance as Marcelo threw himself at a header. Yellow card.
GETTY IMAGES
Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Joao Miranda 7 A wall at the heart of Altetico's defence and looked like a true leader. Plenty of great tackles, headers and break up play through out the game. Yellow card for pulling back Di Maria but superb at the back.

Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Diego Godin 8 Hero after equaliser against Barcelona which won league and carried on his unlikely goal scoring form. Broke the deadlock when his helped on header completely caught out Casillas. At the back, the Uruguayan was fantastic, putting his body on the line and winning almost every ball. Stood up to everything Real could muster and deserved to win the game inside 90 minutes and will be heartbroken to end up losing, like all of his teammates. Let his frustrations take over to concede a penalty late on.

Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Filipe Luis 7 Beaten by Bale's speed on more than one occasion but that is forgivable. Did fine on the most part and taken for Alderweireld when he tired in last ten minutes.
GETTY IMAGES
Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Tiago 6 His double mistake went unpunished when Bale shot wide in the first half but played well marshaling in front of the back four. Good passing and tackling and a solid night's work all round.
GETTY IMAGES
Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Gabi 8 Broke up countless midfield battles and made countless tackles. A real highlight in midfield and played out Simeone's plan very well indeed. Really didn't deserve to be on the losing side like many of his teammates.
GETTY IMAGES
Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Raul Garcia 6 Yellow card for nasty tackle on Di Maria but performed well in Atletico's midfield. Plenty of interceptions and tackles and worked hard when their backs were against it. Taken off just after the hour mark and replaced by Sosa.

Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Koke 7 Big part of the Champions' midfield and player well to break up Real's threats for the most part. Yellow card.

Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings David Villa 6 The ageing forward has lost a yard of pace but did well in a rare start. Beat Carvajal well on the touchline but failed to find a teammate with the pull back. Yellow card.

Champions League Final: Real Madrid 4 Atletico Madrid 1 (aet) - player ratings Diego Costa 5 Gamble to start him didn’t pay off as the Spaniard was clearly not fit enough to play. Subbed off after just nine minutes and replaced by Adrian Lopez

Gareth Bale redeemed his poor night by scoring the goal that gave Real the title with a simple header at the back post.
Marcelo and a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty rounding off things for Real and heaped misery of Atletico who really didn't deserve to end the final that way.
The victory meant Real claimed their 10th Champions League title.
