Ronaldo says he had vision of scoring the winning goal

The Portugal forward scored the decisive penalty in Real’s 5-3 shootout win after Juanfran missed for Atletico.

France head coach Didier Deschamps hailed the “amazing” achievement of Zinedine Zidane after his former global colleague secured Champions League glory with Real Madrid.

“Penalties are a cruel way to decide the victor of the Champions League, but it’s not unfair”.

“I think I could start thinking about my future”, Simeone said cryptically. Mentally it’s a lot of pressure that you have to bear.

Real coach Zinedine Zidane and Atletico counterpart Diego Simeone had kept to the script with no real surprises in their respective line-ups for the final.

“It really was incredible and an unforgettable feeling that leaves a little hole in your heart and we are going to have time to review the game”.

“Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City can forget it, I’m retiring at Real Madrid”.

“I feel responsible for the fans who have bought their tickets”.

The former Los Blancos midfielder held an emotional post-match conference in which he expressed his pride in being part of the Real Madrid family.

In addition to reaching the Champions League final twice, Atletico have also won the Copa del Rey, the Europa League, UEFA Super Cup and Spanish Super Cup under the 46-year-old’s leadership.

“We were calm on penalties and we deserved to win”, said Croatia worldwide Modric.

“I was given the chance to come to this wonderful club, and then to coach it”. I’m very happy for everything we’ve achieved together.

Ramos, who opened the scoring at San Siro, praised Zidane and said the Frenchman was crucial in the club’s 11th Champions League crown. It’s the club of my life, the one that made me who I am. I was the number one in the team, again, for most minutes.

The Champions League win is Bale’s second, following the 4-1 after-extra-time win over Atletico in Lisbon in 2014.
