All Hail The Champions As Real clinch UCL title on penalties

Football | Champions League

Real Madrid were crowned European champions for an unprecedented 11th time when Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winning penalty in a 5-3 shootout victory over Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
The Champions League final had finished 1-1 after extra time with Sergio Ramos having bundled the ball home to give Real the lead in the 15th minute.
Antoine Griezmann missed a penalty at the start of the second half for Atletico when he fired his shot against the bar.
Atletico, beaten in their two previous final appearances, including the most recent against Real in 2014, suffered a series of let-offs before substitute Yannick Carrasco rifled in the equaliser in the 79th minute to send the game into extra time.
Juan Fran missed Atletico's fourth penalty in the shootout and Ronaldo converted to seal victory for Real.
"What an amazing feeling," Real forward Gareth Bale said. "We showed resilience and what we are made of. It was a war of attrition. I cannot describe how it feels.
"The boys gave everything and we deserve it. It was a final and you have to win. We just kept going and we can lift the trophy again now," the Welshman added.
The challenges came in thick and fast early on and Atletico gave away two free kicks in dangerous positions.
They got away with it the first time when Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak made a brilliant save on his line to block Casemiro's shot from a Gareth Bale free kick.
But there was no let-off when Bale headed on a Toni Kroos free kick and Ramos prodded the ball over the line.
The second half began dramatically when Pepe clumsily caught Fernando Torres's ankle in the area to give away a penalty.
But Griezmann fired his spot-kick against the underside of the bar, possibly distracted by Keylor Nava’s jumping along his goal line.
Oblak, who had a made a brilliant one-on-one save from Karim Benzema, made an another superb stop from Cristiano Ronaldo and Stefan Savic cleared Bale's shot off the line.
Atletico immediately went down the other end where Griezmann lifted the ball to Juan Fran, who volleyed a cross for Carrasco to fire home from close range.
Neither side looked like breaking the deadlock in extra-time.
It was a night of an epic battle between the two Spanish giants, the game which started with missed attempts from Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth bale in the 25th minute, but the game came alive in the 75th minute when real defender Sergio Ramos clinch a goal from a support header from Gareth bale.
But all hopes and celebration were cut short when a goal came from carrasco in Atletico Madrid to put the game on draw.

Did they just threatened the United States...Find out who?

North Korea...yep, I repeat North Korea, as new warning message circulates around the world where the DPRK boys sternly warned the Washington gods to back off their territory or face the wrath...This North Korea Sef! Pyongyang's state-controlled news agency KCNA said Tuesday the United States and Japan launched a "criminal joint nuclear attack training exercise" in May, citing the presence of B-52 Stratofortress bombers near South Korea in June. The United States is set on "maximizing" the risk of nuclear war on the Korean peninsula and therefore is in no position to advocate denuclearization, Pyongyang said. In an article published Saturday in the Workers' Party Rodong Sinmun, North Korea said, "Even if our sovereignty and right to exist are interfered with at the slightest, we will turn the U.S. imperialist military bases into seas of fire."
