The Wales global was a second-half substitute on Saturday as Madrid claimed their second Champions League triumph in as many seasons with a 4-1 win over Juventus in Cardiff.
"We're the first team to win the Champions League two years running, I scored two goals in the final and I'm the top scorer in the competition this season, so I'm happy", said Cristiano Ronaldo.
Here, we look at the numbers behind Ronaldo's remarkable feat.
Real will now take on Europa League winners Manchester United in the UEFA Super Cup on August 8.
Juventus were still hopeful of winning the trophy for the first time in 21 years as they reached the interval at 1-1, but Real found several extra gears to streak away and become the first club in the Champions League era to lift the trophy in successive seasons.
Goals for United across 292 appearances and six quite brilliant seasons.
Zinedine Zidane's side rolled over a well beaten Juve with a masterful second-half display in Cardiff, becoming the first team to win back-to-back Champions Leagues, while stretching their record haul of European Cups to 12.
Not content with consecutive Champions League titles and a drought-ending La Liga crown, Cristiano Ronaldo quickly turned his attention to individual honours and the Ballon d'Or. "I am not a saint, but I'm not a devil either, which is what many people say I am".

Hundreds have been left homeless by the blaze, putting more pressure on officials in a city plagued by a chronic housing shortage. Some 19 patients are still being treated in hospital, of whom 10 are in a critical condition, the National Health Service said.
"The only criticism I could make is that, after the second goal, we should have stayed in the game mentally to make sure we still had chances". It was the only high point for Juventus on a night when the Italian champion was outclassed in its quest for a first European title in 21 years.
Zidane: "We knew this was going to be a hard but very special season". We're very happy, it's been very special and we have to enjoy this moment.
Unfortunately for Mario Mandzukic, the spectacular overhead kick that he speared beyond Keylor Navas, the Madrid keeper, at the end of a lovely move involving Gonzalo Higuaín and Alex Sandro, brought only ephemeral joy.
It was the culmination of a counterattack of breathtaking speed launched by Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.
It owed much to Madrid controlling midfield, largely thanks to Modric, who set up Ronaldo's second.
His team's domination was verified after the break when Madrid went back in front - through Casemiro's strike that deflected off Sami Khedira - and this time the lead was retained.
The sight of Juan Cuadrado receiving a red card in the 84th minute for a second bookable offence rather summed up the second half. And to compound their misery, Asensio beat Buffon again as the 39-year-old goalkeeper missed out on a first European title.
