Atletico Madrid welcomed Real Madrid to the Vicente Calderon on Wednesday night looking to overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final.
Goals from Saul Niguez and Antoine Griezmann saw Atletico cut the aggregate score to 3-2 inside an incredible opening 16 minutes in the Spanish capital.
A close-range finish from Isco in the 42nd minute, however, allowed Real Madrid to register an all-important away goal.
Atletico needed three in the second period to stand a chance of progressing, but Real Madrid held firm to advance to the final with a 4-2 aggregate success.
