AFTER TYING GAME LATE IN REGULATION, GALACTICOS ERUPT FOR THREE OT GOALS TO FINISH OFF MATTRESS MAKERS, WIN TENTH EUROPEAN CLUB TITLE (FIRST SINCE 2002)

At Lisbon, Portugal:
Champions League - Bale delivers as Real outlast Atletico to win La Decima
After Sergio Ramos delivered the equalizer in second-half stoppage time (90'+3), Real Madrid, with Garreth Bale (110', that's him here, celebrating), Marcelo (118'), and Cristiano Ronaldo (PK-120') each delivering an overtime goal, defeated Atletico Madrid 4-1 in Saturday's UEFA Champions League final.  This victory---in the first European Cup final to feature two teams from the same city---game Los Galacticos their tenth European club championship (their first since 2002), more than any other club.  Real Madrid will play in December's FIFA Club World Cup, which is slated to be played in Morocco.
