The Real Madrid star was victorious again on Saturday, scoring the winning penalty in the shooutout as they defeated bitter rivals Atletico Madrid in a repeat of the 2014 final.
“I’d like to congratulate Real Madrid”.
All of Real’s players kept their composure to beat opposition goalkeper Jan Oblak from the spot, and when Atletico favourite Juanfran saw his effort come back off the post, Cristiano Ronaldo stepped up and hit the victor.
As Los Blancos celebrated in front of their fans, a devastated Juanfran simply made the long walk to the other end of the pitch to ask the travelling Atletico crowd for their forgiveness.
The missed shot allowed for Cristiano Ronaldo to clinch Real Madrid’s 11th title with his penalty shot.
The Spanish giants beat city rivals Atletico Madrid in the final at Milan’s San Siro with a tense penalty shootout victory after a 1-1 scoreline on 120 minutes.
Real Madrid midfielder Isco says he wants to stay at the club following their dramatic Champions League final victory over Atletico Madrid on Saturday. “Once again they were superior to us, this time at penalties”, said the Argentinian, obviously devastated by the result.
“We do not have a party if Madrid win the Champions League or not”. I [then] have six days to be prepared to play a good competition [at Euro 2016]. When the president gave me the opportunity to coach this great club, I knew we could achieve something big.
“He changed history in 2002, and he has won the Champions League as a player, an assistant and now as the coach”. “I always keep the people who love me (close)”, Ronaldo told British media, as quoted by FourFourTwo. “This trophy belongs to Real and that is why it is the best club in the world”. We need to continue working, I have to think things out on my part – that’s what I’m doing now. [I have] a lot of minutes in the legs but I am still there; I am always there.
