Atletico Madrid supporter distraught after Real Madrid opens scoring

Atletico Madrid knows all about heartbreak in the Champions League final.

In the 1973-74 European Cup final, Atleti conceded a 120th-minute equaliser to Bayern Munich's Hans-Georg Schwarzenbeck before succumbing to defeat in a replay two days later.

More recently, in the 2013-14 Champions League final, Los Colchoneros were on the verge of beating its crosstown rival, Real Madrid, until a 93rd-minute equaliser from Sergio Ramos paved the way for Los Blancos to end their long, obsessive wait for La Decima.

In Saturday's rematch of the Champions League final from two years ago, one supporter of Atleti reached her tipping point, as Ramos opened the scoring with a hint of offside in the 15th minute, leaving her overwrought.

If you look closely, you can actually pinpoint the exact moment her heart breaks in two.
