Real Madrid will face Juventus in the final of the Champions League in Cardiff on June 3.
Real eliminated Atletico in the semi-finals on a 4-2 aggregate, although Atlético won the second leg tie 2-1 in their last-ever European game at the Vicente Calderón.
The Zinedine Zidane team will now attempt to become the first side to successfully defend their UEFA Champions League crown.
The qualification tonight was nearly impossible.
Atlético required a minor miracle after last week’s Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired 3-0 first-leg defeat but amid a sensational opening their prayers looked like being answered.
Saúl Ñíguez’s header raised hopes and when Antoine Griezmann’s mis-hit penalty found the net four minutes later, it was on.
In a semi-final played at frenetic pace, Zinédine Zidane’s men slowly found their poise and three minutes before half-time the white half of the Spanish capital breathed a collective sigh of relief as Isco slotted in.
It meant Atletico had to score three more; to their credit, they gave it a go.
Yet when Kaylor Navas brilliantly denied substitute Kevin Gameiro midway through the second period, the jig was up.
