What a match it was in Lisbon. Here's what we learnt:

11. Horse placenta doesn't work after all

Stocks in horse placenta plummet after Diego Costa's magical comeback lasts just nine minutes (or was it mind games from Diego Simeone? Either way, didn't pay off)

10. Roy Keane isn't a fan of Xabi Alonso

Don't look directly into his eyes or you will turn to stone.

9. Jose was right about Casillas

Mourinho took a lot of flak for dropping the Spanish international during his time as Real boss and after his howler for the opening goal, maybe he was right all along!

8. Don't make Xabi Alonso angry

The ginger one reacts to an early missed Bale chance. Ouchy.

7. Simeone likes to play an invisible harp during games

Maybe it was the secret to Atleti's domestic success this season?

6. Gareth Bale picks his moments

The Welshman was a shadow of himself this season, missed a massive one-on-one in the first half and countless other chances later on...but still popped up with a crucial goal.

5. Alonso cam should be a thing

More of this please if he misses any games in the World Cup.

4. Atleti don't like Angel Di Maria

Of the seven Atletico players booked on the night, three of them were for fouls on the Argentinean winger. Wonder what he did to deserve that?

3. Should probably put a man on the post at corners

It works for Sunday League teams, Diego.

2. Simeone needs anger management

Ok, we sort of knew this one already, but the Atleti boss couldn't contain his displeasure at the referee and stormed the pitch after Real's fourth goal. Chill man!

1. Football is pretty bloody awesome

Football is just great isn't it? We knew this anyway but just confirming it. *group hug*
