Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid lifts the Champions League trophy.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored the decisive penalty as Real Madrid won the Champions League for an 11th time with a 5-3 shoot-out win over Atletico Madrid at the San Siro on Saturday.
Sergio Ramos gave Real the lead in the 15th minute but, after Antoine Griezmann smashed a penalty against the bar, substitute Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco made it 1-1 with 11 minutes remaining to send the game to extra-time.
Neither team could find a winner in the added 30 minutes as players on both sides tired, but the penalties were perfect until Juanfran hit the post with Atletico’s fourth attempt.
That gave Ronaldo the chance to win it and he fired home to give Real their second victory in the competition in the last three years, ripping off his shirt in celebration.
It is the 11th time Real have lifted the trophy – four more times than any other club – while Atletico have now been beaten three times in the final.
