Real Madrid on Saturday night won its 11th UEFA Champions
league. Real Madrid defeated Atletico
Madrid 5-3 on penalty kicks after extra time to win its record eleventh UCL.
Ramos became the first defender in history to score in two
UEFA champions league finals, while Ronaldo edged-out his archrival, Lionel
Messi, to become a player with three goals from three different UCL finals.
According to UEFA, “Ronaldo has also broken clear of Lionel
Messi in the all-time UEFA Champions League goalscoring stakes, with 93 to his
name compared with the Barcelona man’s 83 – both players having begun the
campaign on 77 goals. Ronaldo leads Messi 94–83 in the European Cup overall,
including qualifying, for the competition’s 61 seasons”.
Zidane joined two enviable companies, as he became the
seventh man in history, to have won the UCL as a player and as a coach. He also
became the eight man ever, to have won the UCL in his first coaching season at
a club.

It was expected for Saturday's game to end in a draw. Ronaldo's last goal came as a nice surprise. It is good to see Real Madrid scoring a victory in this match and adding one more trophy of UEFA Champions League.
