		</div><p>It seems inevitable now but Christiano Ronaldo was the hero of the piece once again as Real Madrid overcame Juventus to lift this year&#8217;s Champion League title. Ronaldo collected a brace to help his side to a 4-1 victory over the Italian giants and wrap up a historic 12th continental crown.by overcoming Juventus in a memorable Cardiff showdown.</p>
<p>The long, arduous journey to European glory culminated under the roof in Wales, where Zinedine Zidane&#8217;s men showed their killer instinct to win the title for the third time in four seasons. Juventus started the brighter and Mario Mandzukic&#8217;s overhead kick will live long in the memory, but Ronaldo&#8217;s brace along with efforts from Casemiro and Marco Asensio left Real celebrating a surprisingly comfortable 4-1 win.</p>
<p>Juventus conceded more in Cardiff than the rest of their continental run combined, seeing them slump to a fifth straight final defeat as Madrid became the first side in the Champions League era to retain the trophy. It was a chastening end to a night the Bianconeri had started superbly. After Ronaldo opened the scoring by turning home Real&#8217;s first shot on goal, Mandzukic scored a sublime overhead kick &#8211; surely one of the greatest ever goals ever to grace this stage.</p>
<p>But Juventus&#8217; dreams of a first Champions League title in 21 years ended in heartbreak as Madrid upped the ante, regaining their lead as Casemiro&#8217;s 30-yard drive flew home via a deflection.<br />
Matters were quickly compounded as Ronaldo turned home at the near post to take his goal tally for club and country to 600.</p>
<p>Gareth Bale came on late in his hometown final and soon saw Real captain Sergio Ramos&#8217; theatrical reaction earning substitute Juan Cuadrado a second booking, with Asensio compounding matters at the death.<br />
Gigi Buffoons wait for the full suite of highest honours in the game must continue</p>
