In what very few genuinely expected, "Madridistas" not only capped their successful month by progressing to the Champions League final for the first time in 12 years, they utterly humiliated the defending champions at their own backyard. The Whites dominated the entire game and scored four unanswered goals (Ramos and Ronaldo doubles), winning the semi-final matchup 5–0 on aggregate. Victory over Bayern meant that Madrid had defeated both finalists of the previous Champions League season en route to the final.
