Cristiano Ronaldo scored
twice as Real Madrid
defeated 10-man
Juventus 4-1 in Cardiff to
retain their Champions
League crown.
Madrid became the first
team in the Champions
League era to
successfully defend the
trophy with their
sixth triumph in the
competition - and 12th
when you include it in its
former guise of the
European Cup - three of
those victories coming in
the last four years.
A thrilling first half saw
Ronaldo put Madrid
ahead, becoming the first
player to score in three
different Champions
League finals in the
process.
Mario Mandzukic
equalised for Juventus
with a spectacular
overhead kick that will
live long in the memory.
But Madrid dominated
the second half as Juve
collapsed, Casemiro
scoring with the help of a
huge deflection before
Ronaldo made sure of
the victory from close-
range, ensuring he
finishes above Lionel
Messi as the
competition's top scorer
in the process.
Any hopes of a Juventus
comeback were ended
when substitute Juan
Cuadrado was sent off 18
minutes after coming on,
the winger receiving a
second yellow for a clash
with Sergio Ramos,
before Madrid substitute
Marco Asensio put the
icing on the cake in the
last minute.
Having also secured
LaLiga glory, the win
seals a famous double for
Zinedine Zidane in his
first full season at the
helm, with Madrid the
first side since AC Milan
in 1990 to win back-to-
back European crowns.
Juventus, who had been
seeking a treble after
winning Serie A and the
Coppa Italia, have now
lost five straight finals
since last tasting
continental success back
in 1996, including two of
the last three, having also
lost to Barcelona in
Berlin two years ago.
