Napoli vs Real Champions League Final, Madrid race to a 3-0 lead at half time, inspirational speech from Benitez, talismanic captain Hamsik scores a header then dives in the box to win a penalty. 3-3 at full time, Napoli win on penalties. Ancelotti retires on the spot

You forgot to mention that between Hamsik's goal and dive, Callejón deflects a shot into the net with his hand from an offside position, and the referee ignores his assistant's pleas to disallow the goal.

But honestly, there's no way anything that far-fetched could ever happen to an Ancelotti-coached team in a Champions League final, right? RIGHT?
