Cristiano Ronaldo’s double storm Real Madrid to win Champions League cup
Cristiano Ronaldo’s double helped Zinedine Zidane’s Real Madrid side beat Juventus 4-1 in Cardiff. A goal in either half took Ronaldo to 105 Champions League strikes as Real became the first side since AC Milan in 1990 to win back-to-back cups. Juventus played entertaining football for the first 45 minutes, AS Ronaldo’s opener was neturalised by Mario Mandzukic’s overhead kick. However, dominant Real after the break with efforts from Casemiro, Ronaldo again and Marco Asensio sealed a 12th European Cup win and a third in four seasons. Ronaldo has now scored twice in as many Champions League goals as any other player in the quarter-finals (20), semi-finals (13) and finals (4), as he won the Champions League on four occasions and has now scored 11 more goals in the competition than Barcelona’s Lionel Messi, his nearest rival.
