And it's Athletico de Madrid's night at the Bernabau beating Real Madrid in extra time 2-1 to claim the Copa del Rey title.

Cristiano Ronaldo put Real ahead with a powerful header but it took just ten minutes for Diego Costa to get the equalizer after a super dazzle by Falcao.

Atletico Madrid, who have not defeated rivals Real Madrid since 1999, found an extra time winner in the wild game as João Miranda ended up being the hero, with his 98th-minute goal making the difference.

Cristiano Ronaldo is given a straight red for appearing to kick Atlético's Gabi in the face also to join Jose Mourinho who had been earlier sent off for touch-line tussles and comments at the officials.
