The Derby della Madonnina also took place twice ( 2002/03 and 2004/05 ), with AC Milan winning over their city rivals Inter both times .

Real was aiming for la décima , the tenth title in the UEFA Champions League or the European Cup , for Atlético it would have been the first title in the European premier league of football. If the Rojiblancos had won the final, Madrid would have been the second city after Milan to have two winners of this competition ( AC and Inter ).

In a UEFA competition, Real and Atlético last faced each other in 1959 in the semi-finals of the European Cup . Real won the first leg 2-1, while Atlético won the second leg 1-0.

Real coach Carlo Ancelotti

Real Madrid last won the title in 2002 in the final against Bayer Leverkusen . With this cup win by the Galactic ended a series of three successes in five years under Vicente del Bosque , only in 2014 did the team reach the Champions League final again. From 2005 to 2010 the team was eliminated six times in a row in the round of 16 and did not meet the demands of the richest football club in the world; In addition, the club embarrassed itself in the 2009 Copa del Rey by being eliminated from the third division club AD Alcorcón . It was not until the 2010/11 season that the “Royal” reached the semi-finals three times in a row with José Mourinho as coach . In the last two years they have lost to German teams: in 2012 Bayern Munich after a tie only on penalties and in 2013 Borussia Dortmund , not least because of Robert Lewandowski's sensational four goals in the first leg. After the mutual separation from Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti took over the team as coach in mid-2013; the race for the Spanish championship in 2014 ended third behind Atlético and eternal rival FC Barcelona , which they defeated in the Copa del Rey final.

As runners-up in 2013 , Real was a direct participant in the Champions League. Only against Juventus Turin they played away in Group B, the other five games were won by the team and were prematurely group winners ahead of Galatasaray Istanbul , Turin and FC Copenhagen . In the knockout round, the team was then drawn exclusively from German teams. In the round of 16, FC Schalke 04 were outclassed 6-1 in their stadium, and at home they won 3-1. The revenge against Borussia Dortmund also succeeded in the quarter-finals: in the 3-0 home win, the guests could not use their chances without the suspended Lewandowski, with this cushion the team reached the semifinals despite the 0-2 defeat in the second leg. There Real met Bayern Munich, against whom they last won a knockout round in 2004. In the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu they countered 1-0, in the second leg the Merengues then, after a brilliant performance 4-0, brought the Munich team their highest home defeat in the European Cup.

Atlético Madrid

Atlético coach Diego Simeone

Atlético Madrid had to overcome a long dry spell after the double of the Spanish league title and cup win in 1996, the low point of which was relegation in 2000 . In the following season there was even a risk of falling into the third division ; with the coach Luis Aragonés in 2002 then succeeded in sovereign promotion to the Primera División . This was followed by mixed seasons, which were characterized by little consistency on the field and on the coaching bench. Success was only achieved under Quique Flores : winning the Europa League in 2010 won the first international title since 1962 , and Atlético also made it into the cup final at national level . Mediocre results in the Spanish league led to further coach changes until the team, led by Diego Simeone, who was signed in 2011, was able to repeat the Europa League triumph in 2012 and also beat Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup final. In the following season they established themselves as a top team with the Spanish Cup victory and direct qualification for the Champions League . In the 2013/14 national competition , Atlético was never worse than third from the start, had been top of the table since matchday 29 and secured the Spanish championship title with a draw against FC Barcelona in the last league game.

As third in the Primera División 2013 , Atlético had also qualified directly for the Champions League. The group stage ended after five wins and a draw at group runner-up Zenit Saint Petersburg with a clear lead in first place and had already secured the round of 16 before the last match day; the FC Porto and FK Austria Wien was beaten in both the Estadio Vicente Calderón as well as abroad. In the round of 16, the team also won two wins against AC Milan . It was closer in the quarter-finals against FC Barcelona : after creating a good starting point in the away game with 1-1, the team won the second leg with a goal from Koke . The goalless semi-final first leg in their own stadium against Chelsea was characterized by the infamous defensive tactics of their coach José Mourinho , whose disciplined execution effectively neutralized the attacking efforts of the Colchoneros . In the second leg at Stamford Bridge , the team turned a 0-1 deficit into a 3-1 win and made the first city ​​derby in a European football final perfect.

Course of the game

The playing field at the opening ceremony

After eight minutes, coach Simeone had to replace striker Diego Costa, as his injury made it impossible to continue playing. Gareth Bale had the first big chance of the game in the 32nd minute when he was able to intercept the ball after a bad pass by Tiago in the build-up, played around the defense and shot just wide of the goal. Just minutes later, Diego Godín gave Atlético the lead after winning a header against Sami Khedira . Real goalkeeper Casillas made the mistake of walking out of the gate and Godin lifted the ball over him into the goal. Atlético had perhaps the greatest chance to make it 2-0 in the 41st minute, when Adrián López headed freely from a corner from seven meters away, but headed the ball over the goal.

The second half essentially consisted of a single attack by Reals on the opponent's goal. Real's coach Carlo Ancelotti moved Fábio Coentrão and Khedira with Marcelo and Isco made. Khedira had previously had to pause for several months because of a cruciate ligament tear . His job was mainly to play a little offset behind Luka Modrić, with whom he formed Real's double six.

Atlético defended with almost all of the players and hardly tried to make it 2-0 towards the end of the game. In terms of fitness, Atlético had reached the end of the game and last time came dangerously in front of the opposing goal in the 72nd minute when David Villa slipped in with a stretched leg against Iker Casillas . A minute later, Bale had his second of a total of three missed big chances during regular time when he came free to shoot from 18 meters away, but aimed past the goal. He had his third big chance in the 78th minute, when he again penetrated dangerously into the penalty area. In the final quarter of an hour, the chances for Real Madrid piled up, but it was not until the third minute of the total of five minutes of stoppage time before Sergio Ramos was able to escape his guard Diego Godín after a corner kicked by Luka Modrić and headed the late 1-1 equalizer . In extra time, Atlético's team was more exhausted than Real. Both teams had exhausted their transfer contingent and could no longer substitute.

Real Madrid continued to dominate the game and after a remarkable run by Ángel Di Marías , in which he overcame three opponents, he shot the ball sharply towards Atlético's goal. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois blocked the ball, but it jumped to Bale. This headed the ball to 2-1 into the empty goal. When Marcelo's goal to make it 3-1, Atlético's defense showed signs of disintegration when the Brazilian was able to advance unhindered to the edge of the penalty area and pull away. Cristiano Ronaldo broke into Atlético's penalty area shortly afterwards and was fouled by Gabi. The Portuguese Ronaldo converted the penalty himself and scored his 17th goal in the current tournament, which is a new record. During the celebration of Ronaldo's goal, Varane shot the ball at Atlético coach Diego Simeone , who stormed onto the pitch in anger. Simeone and Varane were punished for their behavior; Varane got the yellow card and Simeone had to go into the stands.

Simeone later called Diego Costa's lineup a mistake and apologized for it.

reception

While Real Madrid won their tenth title in the UEFA Champions League and the European Cup, the fate for Atlético was repeated in a particularly tragic way: in the 1973/74 European Cup , the Colchoneros led in the 120th minute of the In the final against FC Bayern Munich 1-0, before their central defender "Katsche" Schwarzenbeck fired a desperate shot from more than thirty meters away from the goal immediately before the final whistle, which shortly afterwards floundered into Atletico's goal net. In the replay Atlético had no chance and lost 4-0. Again, Atlético led 1-0 when Real Madrid center-back Sergio Ramos scored the late equalizer in the third minute of stoppage time. In the extension that followed, the Colchoneros also had no chance.

After the game, Juanfran explained the effect of the late equalizer on his team: "That goal killed us." And his teammate Toby Alderweireld added: "We were completely broken and were only hoping for the penalty shoot-out."

As a result of this game, the FAZ drew in its issue of May 26, 2014: “Football has a special dialectic, it doesn't just know one truth. Both were true: If Atlético had also blocked this one ball in the 94th minute, they would have been a worthy, deserved winner. But Real made the balance - and was the worthy, deserved winner. "
