This is the fifth time in a row that Cristiano achieves this award, showing that the Champions League is his favourite competition.

Against Juventus he denied Miralem Pjanic well early on but might have done better to keep out Mario Mandzukic's spectacular bicycle kick equaliser.

For good measure, Ronaldo's double took him above Messi to finish as this season's Champions League top scorer with 12 goals.

Fans of Juventus, Turin's soccer team, were watching their team play rival Real Madrid on large televisions Saturday night in the Piazza San Carlo in Turin.

It's nice to see him get rid of all that bleach and go for a sleeker look.

The victory was the twelfth title for Real Madrid in the team's Champions League history.

But, as with defeats to AC Milan in 2003 and Barcelona in 2015, it was to be another loss for the Italy number one.

Lue of course resisted, and in games 3-7 Smith averaged 13.2 points and made almost three 3-pointers per game. But the Cavs have made clear that if they're going down, they're going down their way.

Cristiano Ronaldo understandably took the accolades as his two goals helped to fire Real Madrid to a 12th European Cup but fundamental to their triumph over Juventus on Saturday was midfielder Luka Modric. I obviously came back way too early from my surgery and I suffered a bit and obviously we were considering having more at one point. "They showed their class and the attitude needed to play in this kind of game".

"It is hard to say (how long), but we need to enjoy what we are doing and we will see".

The Welsh striker further said that the reason he came to Real was to win trophies and that Los Blancos will continue to do so. It's too easy to say he's got incredible players because you have to handle them.

Now, 13 years later, he made a triumphant return to Wales to further his ceaseless quest to be ranked not only as the best of his generation, but the very finest ever to lace up a pair of boots.

"This season was unbelievable again, last season was wonderful".

"I don't think Juventus has reached the end of a cycle at all", he said.

"The city have done an immaculate job in hosting such a great event and we thank everyone for that. It was crucial for our performance in the second half".
