The 2014 Champions League final was one of the most memorable in history as it was, for the first time, contended by two teams from the same city -- Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Moreover, the way the game unfolded made it one for the ages.
A lot of the hype surrounding epochal sporting events surrounds players' feats on the field of play. But what about the fans whose passion drives the game? To highlight fans' passion, Freshmen Media decided to put together this heart-stirring video that shows the reactions of both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid fans at different points in the game.
The video was captured in the two teams' stadiums, both of which set up massive screens so fans could watch the Champions League final, which was held in Lisbon.
