The Décima turns twelve

Twelve years ago, on May 24, 2014, Real Madrid conquered the Décima in Lisbon. Sergio Ramos starred in an unforgettable moment in the legend of our club with his decisive goal in the final against Atlético. In the 93rd minute, the center-back equalized with a header, sending the match into extra time. In the extra time, Bale, Marcelo, and Cristiano Ronaldo sealed that magical night. Our team, led by Carlo Ancelotti as coach, demonstrated their commitment and fight until the end to claim the title.

Before reaching Lisbon, the madridistas played in the Group Stage against Galatasaray, Juventus, and Copenhagen. In the knockout rounds, they faced three German teams: Schalke (Round of 16), Borussia Dortmund (Quarterfinals), and Bayern Munich (Semifinals). This was the second of three all-Spanish finals in the history of the European Cup, all of which were won by Real Madrid.
