Champions League review: Real Madrid will play Juventus in the final

The holders Real Madrid will face Juventus in the final of the Champions League after overcoming their noisy neighbours on aggregate despite losing 2-1 in the second leg.

On 7 February 2015, Real Madrid took a bus ride to the Vincente Calderon and was hammered by four goals to nil. And it’s for that reason that the ardent Atletico Madrid fans believed their side could overturn a three-goal deficit and make it to their third final in four seasons.

Real Madrid, cushioned by a first leg Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick, had not conceded two goals in the first 20-minutes of a Champions League clash in over a decade, but that’s exactly what happened in this pulsating encounter.

The usually defensive-minded Atletico went right for the jugular, brachial, and titty twister, ransacking the Real goal peppering shots as if they were coming out of one of those tennis cannon things.
