Whilst Ronaldo was undoubtedly pleased for Real Madrid's victory, on a personal level it was also a very significant triumph.

This victory saw Ronaldo's personal tally go up to 5 Champions League Medals which is incidentally a world record.

Although other players have won as many medals as Ronaldo when one combines the old European Cup medals, with the likes of Paolo Maldini sitting on 5 as well and Real Madrid legend Paco Gento sitting on an unparalleled 6, when one only includes the medals won during the current format of the club competition, Cristiano Ronaldo stands supreme.

Bonus fact: Ronaldo has as many Champions League titles as Bayern Munich, Liverpool, and Barcelona.
