Football. Ua recalls the history of the European Cup confrontations between Real Madrid and Atletico.
Real Madrid and Atletico more than two hundred times met each other in the championship and the Cup of Spain. The history of confrontation in the continental club tournaments of the two Madrid teams, of course, is not so rich, but 7 fights they held, and 2 of them fell on the Champions League finals. All previous meetings were characterized by incredible perseverance, but success in them invariably accompanied the Royal Club.

13. 05. 1959, replay Real Madrid - Atletico 2: 1 Goals: Di Stefano, 16, Pushkash, 42 - Collard, 18.
In the second half of the 50-ies of the last century in Europe there was no equal to Real. Blancos took one Champions Cup after another, and very few people managed to give them worthy resistance. Atletico was in the tournament, taking second place in the championship of Spain, as their countrymen who became champions, went to the Champions Cup as the owner of the European trophy.
The first duel at Santiago Bernabeu gathered 120 thousand audience. Fans of Real Madrid were eager to see how their favorites would ruin their old rival and prove that he was still green for continental achievements. However, the demonstrative beating did not happen. At the goal of Chuso, the hosts responded with only two accurate shots (Rial and Puskash), and Atletico could well get away from defeat, realize Vava penalty.
In the return match at the Metropolitan to the joy of 50 thousand of his Inch Atletico took a minimal revenge, but, alas, he achieved only a replay (that's how you can not remember once again unrealized in the first match 11-meter!).
By the time of the match in Zaragoza, Intra-Spanish tournaments have already ended. Atletico took fifth place and could hope to get into the European Cups only by winning the Champions Cup, and Real Madrid had to be rehabilitated for the Barcelona championship and the Copa del Rey.
Again, the fight was very difficult for both teams, and again everything was decided at the expense of an advantage in one goal - in favor of Real.
Champions League. Final 24. 05. 2014 Real Madrid - Atletico 4: 1 (d. ) Goals: Ramos, 90 + 3, Bail, 110, Marcelo, 118, Cristiano Ronaldo, 120, with a penalty - Godin, 36.
The next meeting of fellow countrymen took place at a higher level - in the final of the Champions League in 2014. For some reason, it seemed that the decisive battle for the trophy in the performance of the Madrid teams would be much more boring than if it were attended by losers semifinals of Bayern and Barcelona. However, the epic nature of the denouement blocked all boredom from the development of events.
Team Diego Simeone in his style gave the initiative to the opponent and watched with interest the fruitless attempts of Real to learn something from the advantage in possession of the ball. At the same time, Matressnikov's counterattacks were very sharp, and who knows how many balls would have to be taken out of his net by Casillas, do not get injured already at the 9th minute of Diego Costa.
The guests were led in the account after the goalkeeper of Real Madrid Casillas made a mistake while filing angular at the exit and Godin did not forgive him for it. Literally right there and again after a corner, Real Madrid could finish Adrian Lopez, but did not hit the target.
The score 0: 1 was kept until the compensated time, and the red and white half of the stadium was already preparing to celebrate the first European champion trophy, but on the third minute added by the referee Sergio Ramos, at the end of the meeting acting as almost the center forward, he closed the pitch of Modrica with Angular!.
In extra time, Atletico seemed to be in some sort of prostration, not being able to understand how it was possible to not hold out until the end of the actually won match, and eventually missed three more times. Real Madrid in the 10th time took over the Champions Cup.
Champions League. 1/4 Finals 14. 04. 2015 Atletico - Real Madrid 0: 0 22. 04. 2015 Real Madrid - Atletico 1: 0 Goal: Hernandez, 88.
In the next season, the ways of the teams in the Champions League again crossed, but this time at distant approaches to the decisive match - in the quarterfinals. The mattresses hungered for revenge, Blancos hoped to put the countrymen back in their shoes.
Alas, both matches lived up to expectations except in the heat of passion, and the football in the performance of Real and Atletico was far from the standard quality. On Vicente Calderon was recorded a zero draw, and on Santiago Bernabeu the victory thanks to the only goal of Javier Hernandez was celebrated by the hosts.
Champions League. Final of 28. 05. 2016 Real Madrid - Atletico 1: 1 (pen. - 5: 3) Goals: Ramos, 15 - Carrasco, 79.
At the 48th minute Grismann (A) did not realize a penalty.
And now a new meeting - this time again in the final. The entire first half of Real Madrid, remembering, apparently, about the match 2 years ago in Lisbon, tried to crush the opponent, but managed to excel only once. After Bale's discount, the evil genius Matrasnikov Ramos, staying on the brink of offside or even behind her (referee Klattenburg felt that everything was within the rules), opened an account.
However, the team of Diego Simeone farther, the more clearly demonstrated the seriousness of their intentions, and at the very beginning of the second half got a great chance to equalize the score. Alas, punching a penalty, designated for a foul Pepe against Torres, Grizmann hit the ball in the crossbar. How can one not think about the evil fate that persecutes Atletico in meetings with Real Madrid at the European crossroads!.
Fortunately, the mattresses still managed to level the situation thanks to the intransigence of Carrasco, but more spectators, despite the moments of those and other gates, and did not see. In extra time, Atletico seemed to be quietly preparing for a series of 11-meter, and Real Madrid was desperate to fail to bring the matter to the "lottery".
But, as it turned out, a lucky ticket in the form of hitting the bar Juanfran Fortune made it Real Madrid.
