Atletico Madrid’s match-winner Joao Miranda holds the Spanish King’s Cup.

Atletico Madrid stunned city rivals Real to win their 10th King’s Cup when Joao Miranda’s extra-time header secured a 2-1 comeback win in an action-packed and ill-tempered clash at the Bernabeu late Friday in which Real coach Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo were both sent off.

Atletico’s jubilant fans spilled onto the streets of the Spanish capital to celebrate their first victory over their bitter city rivals in 14 years, while the Real faithful were left to reflect on a season without major silverware and the possible departure of Mourinho at the end of the campaign.

Ronaldo, who was shown a straight red card after he kicked out at Atletico captain Gabi in the second half of extra-time, apparently catching him in the face, nodded Real ahead in the 14th minute.

Diego Costa levelled 10 minutes before the break and after Mourinho was dismissed for furiously protesting a referee’s decision with around 15 minutes of regular time left, Miranda glanced a 99th-minute header past Diego Lopez to secure a first win against Real since 1999.

The match, in which Real hit the post three times, descended into chaos near the end when a mass brawl between substitutes and technical staff erupted on the side of the pitch as Ronaldo received his marching orders.

Play was further interrupted moments later when Atletico goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was hit by an object thrown from the crowd and Gabi was shown a second yellow card in the dying seconds for time wasting.

After five minutes of nerve-wrenching stoppage-time, the referee finally blew the whistle, sending the red and white-clad Atletico fans into raptures while the white half of Real’s own stadium was left in mute shock.

The King’s Cup does not carry the same prestige as La Liga or a European title but the Atletico fans’ euphoria also reflected the fact that they had got the better of their city neighbours after more than a decade of disappointment.

“The team won with the hearts of each one of the players,” Atletico coach Diego Simeone told re-porters.

“They lost their fear, as well as having the luck that you need,” added the Argentine, who was playing for Atletico when they last won the King’s Cup in 1996.

“Accepting in the build-up that they are better than us and play better made us stronger.

“We responded in extra-time better than anyone. These feelings we have are special.”

It was Real’s first home defeat in 44 matches and follows their reverse in the Champions League semi-finals to Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona’s fourth La Liga title in five years secured last weekend.

Real were denied a 19th King’s Cup triumph – Barca hold the most titles with 26 – and they have now lost 20 of the 38 domestic cup finals in which they have featured, including six of eight played at their own stadium.
