Zinedine Zidane: My positivity was the game-changer

When the teams met in 2014’s ‘derbi’ final, Madrid’s momentum on equalising late saw them ease to a 4-1 victory in extra-time. The script seemed reversed for long periods this year, with Atletico substitute Yannick Carrasco responding late to Madrid captain Sergio Ramos’ first-half opener.
But Simeone’s side could not push home their advantage and penalties were needed. Colchoneros right-back Juanfran Torres missed, leaving it to Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo to convert the decisive kick.
