I am gutted that Atletico Madrid did not win but well played Real Madrid for not giving up.

What a finale to that game. La Decima took awhile but it finally came!

The result isn't a fair reflection of the game - Atletico were so close they could almost taste it, but sadly for them it wasn't to be. Still, it was a great spectacle, and kudos to Real for not giving up. You could tell that Atletico were hanging on for grim life and when Real equalised, the cup was effectively theirs - the extra time demolition job just confirmed it. I agree with @Liquid, Bale's header looked quite ordinary at first glance, but it was anything but really. In some ways he's quite lucky he got (and took) that chance, as he had missed at least three good chances earlier. On balance, I think the better side won, as Atletico were riding their luck at times, and even their goal was a bit scrappy/lucky. At least Atletico won the league, so their season was a great success despite not lifting the Champions League trophy!

No surprise to hear that UEFA have charged Simeone with THAT confrontation and Xabi Alonso has been charged with excessive celebration at Full Time, he was suspended for the match and I honestly don't remember him celebrating too much...

I was trying to figure out what Varane did to deserve a yelling from Simeone? That I never understood. Although, I was watching the game in Italian, and I know absolutely no Italian.

David Villa will leave Atletico for New York, and will play ten games for the Melbourne Heart.

I wonder how they convinced him to do that. They might have a tie-up with Manchester City, but the Heart are the worst team in the A-League.

Con dinero baila el perro...
Villa is the finest example of a football mercenary right now... And it's sad, because he is not that old, and he could just sign with any other spanish team...

New York FC seems like a pretty genuine effort. The only reason why he's going to Melbourne City is because the Australian summer means he can get matches in beforethe MLS season starts. City might have sucked when they were the Heart, but they have gone a long way towards revitalising themselves. It's no accident that they're now called Melbourne City - Manchester City invested in them in a joint deal with the Melbourne Storm NRL club.
Honestly, the best they can hope for is a top six berth, or maybe top four or five spot if the likes of the Roar or the Mariners or Sydney FC struggle.
