Madrid celebrates

Madrid beat Barcelona 1-0 after extra time on Wednesday, with Cristiano Ronaldo's header giving the club its first domestic cup since 1993 and its first trophy of any kind in three years.

Only hours after the victory, Madrid defender Sergio Ramos let the 15-kilogram (33-pound) cup fall from the top of the team bus during the celebration in early Thursday morning in the capital. ''The whole thing about the cup was a misunderstanding, it didn't fall ... it jumped off when it reached Cibeles (the fountain in Madrid where the team celebrates its titles) and saw so many Madrid fans,'' Ramos tweeted.
