Madrid celebrates Real’s Champions League title

Thousands of flag-waving fans lined the streets to welcome Real Madrid as it returned with its eighth European Champions League title. CNNSI.com’s Gabriele Marcotti says that the key to victory was Real’s total assault mode. Real Madrid's 3-0 thumping of Valencia in the first all-Spanish Champions League final brought the title back home, 44 years after its first continental triumph.
