Sergio Ramos opened the scoring for Real Madrid in Milan
The Real Madrid defender got the first goal of the Champions League final, stabbing home from a Kroos free-kick flicked on by Bale. He did however appear to be in an offside position.
Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos scored the opening goal of the Champions League final 2015/16, against Atlético Madrid in the San Siro, after 14 minutes.
Ramos looked offside
Kroos swung in a free-kick from the left hand side, which was flicked on by an unmarked Gareth Bale at the edge of the box. The ball flew in between Atleti keeper Oblak and a group of players on the six-yard line, with Ramos being the fastest to react and managing to get a tiny touch to put the ball past the goalie and make it 1-0.
