For the first time in eighteen years Real Madrid got to take the Kings cup home and before it even reached the stadium Sergio Ramos managed to destroy it. Arriving in Cibeles, the place where all good Real supporters go to celebrate, somehow as he left the bus the defender managed to drop the cup and it was run over by the team bus. This didn't stop the celebration and another cup can be made.
In a great planned game the squad under the control of Mourinho managed a late goal in extra time to take them to a win. Although FC Barcelona had 69% possession of the ball finally it is goals that count.The goal came in extra time by Cristiano Ronaldo bringing the first title to Real since they bought him from Manchester United.
