For the 11th time in its history Real Madrid won the Champions League final.
Rivals Atletico Madrid, despite being the better side for most of the game, choked when it counted most getting burned in the penalty shootout.
But that said, Atletico's path to victory was shut down tremendously with the team surprisingly losing the edge in a number of ways against rivals that it had owned throughout the last two years. Here are reasons why Real Madrid ultimately managed to win it all.
But when all is said and done, "X-Men: Apocalypse" with its balance of lighter and darker tones is a thoroughly entertaining movie. It might not be as ground-breaking as the franchise's first entries or as engrossing as its immediate predessor "X-Men: Days of Future Past" but it certainly tops most of the other fanfare in the superhero genre hitting theaters today. The visual effects, while gratuitous at times, are still solid through and through and the cast delivers some of the finest performances you can expect in this kind of film.
The Copa American Centenario gets underway in just under a week. The tournament will be a showcase for the best teams across two continents and should provide for some dynamic styles and entertainment.
Real Madrid faces its crosstown rival in what is becoming a rivalry to watch. Years ago, Real Madrid was basically unstoppable against Atletico, but the past few seasons have seen Los Colchoneros take over the competition.
That said, Real Madrid, despite only winning one of 10 against Atletico over the last 10 years, is still more than capable of winning the Champions League title for the 11th time in history. Here are some reasons why.
From 2008-2012, Spain was the best team in the world. Then 2014 happened and the team was not only knocked off its throne, but utterly humiliated.
La Furia Roja will look to regain its dignity and perhaps its crown in the Euro 2016 as it tries to make history and win the tournament for a third straight time.
But Group D poses a very real struggle for Spain as it is one of the toughest groups of the tournament.
Spain will see threats from the Czech Republic, Turkey and Croatia.
For the first time in six years, someone not named Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi has won the famed Pichichi award for most goals scored in a single season. Luis Suarez took the award, hitting 40 goals on the year and leading Barcelona to a second-straight La Liga title.
Group C is shaping up to be one of the more hotly contested groups in the Euro 2016 tournament with the heavy front runners playing against a few teams that could surprise.
Group B of the 2016 Euro is undeniably one of the more fascinating to keep an eye on with four teams capable of getting out of the group and making it to the knockout stages.
In fact, as it stands, this group has no bonafide favorite, which should make for some interesting drama.
Goals will be scored in the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid on May 28 in Milan.

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will face off in the Champions League final at the end of this month in Milan and all eyes will be on the middle of the pitch.
The midfield battle will undeniably be the one to keep an eye on with both sides possessing complete different styles. Real Madrid will own the ball and probe about looking to break down a highly structured Atletico side that will look to roam free on the counter attack.
Which side will win the fight?
The summer season is underway with a plethora of major tentpole features heading for theaters. Summer is generally the season packed with major moneymakers and this year looks no different.

The Euro 2016 gets underway in less that one month. On June 10, France will kick off the tournament at home against Romania in Group A, starting its quest to claim its first major trophy since 2000.
