Disciplined Atletico team took the lead in 36th minute, Godin heading past Casillas, and held firm until the third minute of added time.
Then, Luka Modrić crossed the ball from a corner-kick, and Ramos headed the ball to make it 1:1 and bring extra-time.
Real Madrid won its tenth European title with Bale, Marcelo and Ronaldo scoring in the last ten minutes of the match to record a 4:1 victory.
