Some snapshot collages I made:
Some impressions of Cristiano during the match.
He appeared very determined and dedicated, even tense. It was visible how much he felt responsibility. His goal was a relief.
Only after the match Cris allowed himself to relax a bit.
José Mourinho - the mastermind behind this splendid success.
For Mou it is the 4th Cup in 4 different countries: Portugal, England, Italy, Spain. He is the only football manager who ever achieved that.
Mou is really The Special One.

Starting 11: Casillas, Arbeloa, Ramos, Carvalho, Marcelo, Pepe, Alonso, Khedira, Özil, Di María, Cristiano Ronaldo
GOAL: 102’ Cristiano Ronaldo
FIRST HALF
* First 15 minuted: heated atmosphere, Real Madrid with the first 2 good opportunities for Cristiano and Khedira
* Passionate game-play, dedication and fighting spirit
* Barcelona cannot set up their tiki-taka
* 27’ fight Villa-Arbeloa, Villa complains being kicked by Arbeloa -> good acting!
* “discussions” between players from both teams
* 29’ big chance Cristiano after pass Özil
* 30 minutes: still no scoring opportunity for Barcelona
* 35’ fast attack Cristiano, good shot on goal
* 43’ header Pepe hits the the post
My heart stops!
—> What a brilliant first half! Intense! I am nearly dying
Barcelona appears perplexed by the powerful RM game-play
Where is Messi?

EXTRA TIME
* fighting from both sides
* 98’ Cristiano solo at lightning speed, shot misses slightly
* 102’ GOAL Goooooooooooooooooal Cristiano! What a brilliant header! Brilliant pass came from Di Maria
* Real Madrid now very alert to secure the win
* Di Maria defending!!!
* 118’ Adebayor and Cristiano shoot on goal
* 120’ yellow-red Di Maria* 2 completely different halfs:
First half: domination Real Madrid, but bad luck in finishing
Second half: Barcelona more and more took over, Real Madrid only woke up in the last phase
* Extra time: Balanced. But only until Cristiano scored with his excellent powerful header.
I’m so happy, I nearly cry.
We - I say “we” because we are all part of Real Madrid - we won the first title in this season!
How shall I manage to ever sleep tonight? But I don’t care!
