“Real Madrid fought together and when we didn’t have the ball we gave everything as a shield in order to become champions”.
“I’ve played more than 4 000 minutes, and I was number one in the team, again, with the most minutes”. It’s my second year I scored more than 15 goals. “I want to carry on”, he added.
“I suffered a lot after injuring my shoulder, but I made a decision to stop and then I improved”, added Ramos.
Real forward Gareth Bale also converted his spot-kick in the shootout and provided the assist for Sergio Ramos’s opening goal.
“I am happy with what we have all achieved. It was only after when I got to the halfway line, I was like “Oh my God”, he said.
“I am so proud to wear this white shirt, it suits me and I am very happy”, he told the crowd. He has given us the calm to finish the season really well.
“To do it twice in three years is an wonderful feat and we just have to try and build on this now”.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has confirmed that Zinedine Zidane will remain as chief coach at the football club following Saturday’s triumph in the final of the UEFA Champions League.
Seven players from the Madrid clubs had been included in the preliminary list released two weeks ago, but Real Madrid’s Dani Carvajal was ruled out of the tournament because of a muscle injury sustained in the final in Milan.
The 30-year-old Ramos said it was just what his team deserved after their campaign.
