MADRID (Reuters) - As soon as the final whistle confirmed Real Madrid's berth in the Champions League final against local rivals Atletico with a 1-0 aggregate victory over Manchester City on Wednesday, memories of 2014's all-Spanish final came flooding back.

Sergio Ramos headed in a 93rd-minute equaliser in Lisbon to crush Atletico's dreams of a first ever continental crown and put Real on their way to a 4-1 extra time victory that sealed 'La Decima', the 10th European Cup they had coveted for so long.
