Luka Modric is proud of how Real Madrid settled down in the second half and completely took control of the UCL final.
One of Madrid's greatest players, Zidane was an assistant to Carlo Ancelotti when Madrid won the Champions League in 2014. "Now we have to celebrate".
When it comes to football skills in the Ronaldo family, it looks as if it is clearly a case of like father, like son. "We are defining an era".
Ronaldo played a pivotal role in Madrid's success, bringing back-to-back titles to the Spanish giants and he said afterwards that there is plenty of life and more trophies in him yet. "It's another record for us and the players deserve it and so do I because I scored twice and I'm the top scorer in the Champions League".
So yes, three Champions Leagues in four seasons will do that. "It's a tremendous joy for the players, for this huge club and I am happy because it is not easy to win things like La Liga and the Champions League", he said. The side received a hero's welcome as they returned to Spain with the trophy.
"We feel for what happened to the fans in Turin", he said.
The score was at 1-1 after Ronaldo had netted against the run of play and Mario Mandzukic had equalised but Juventus were creating the better chances and Gianluigi Buffon's net had otherwise gone untroubled.

After the game, Bangladesh accused the authorities of siding up with India , who then were the defending world champions. Two teams from the subcontinent- India and Bangladesh lock horns in the semi-finals of the 2017 Champions Trophy .
On Saturday, both publications had openly expressed their desire for Juventus to win at the Principality Stadium but they acknowledged Madrid's triumph with more grace on Sunday.
From there the squad headed to the club's Santiago Bernabeu where a capacity 81,000 fans are expected for further celebrations, including a lights show and firework display. "I think we feel that we are an awesome team".
For Ronaldo it was a sensational finale to the season which must now end with him winning his fifth Ballon D'Or. "This club is the biggest in Champions League history ever, it's great to be a part of and we want to win more".
Madrid also has Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale in the attack, although there have been rumours of a possible transfer involving them in the near future. It is a long season but I am motivated.
One of the team's strengths this season was to stay competitive even without its stars, relying on talented players such as Francisco "Isco" Alarcon, Lucas Vazquez and Marco Asensio. Missing one piece of silverware should not tarnish his legacy when the time finally comes.
Madrid will begin next season with two hard matches against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup.
