Despite Joe Hart's heroics, Real Madrid finally found a way past Manchester City after a hard fought 180 minutes. Meanwhile, Atleti earned their trip to Italy after knocking off perennial powerhouse, Bayern Munich. The undoubted highlight of their semifinal tie was Saul's amazing solo goal in the first leg.
It's destined to be a historic day of football as either Real Madrid will extend their lead as the club with most European titles or Atletico Madrid will capture their first in club history. Either way, Spain will take home their 16th European Cup as a nation and live on at the top of the world football pyramid.
