Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 600th career goal to fire Real Madrid to Champions League glory

Cristiano Ronaldo got on the scoresheet twice as Real Madrid became the first team to win the Champions League two seasons in a row courtesy of a 4-1 defeat of Juventus in Cardiff this evening.

The Portuguese striker also set a record of his own, becoming the first player to score in three Champions League finals.

For Real, they have now won the competition three times in the last four seasons and have notched up a 12th victory in total in the Champions League and its predecessor the European Cup.

Juve were quickest out of the starting blocks in an exciting opening period, with Gonzalo Higuain stinging Keylor Navas’s palms with a long-range drive just five minutes in and Miralem Pjanic forcing an acrobatic save from the Costa Rican two minutes later.

However, Zinedine Zidane’s charges went on to take the lead against the run of play after a slick counterattack which involved Karim Benzema and Ronaldo saw Dani Carvajal’s cut-back curled home by the Portugal international 20 minutes in.
