Ronaldo scores 600th career goal as Madrid win UCL back-to-back

Real Madrid has made history as the first team to win
back-to-back UEFA Champions League titles on
Saturday, while Cristiano Ronaldo recorded his 600th
career goal for club and country.

Real Madrid defeated Juventus 4-1 a
t the 2016/17
Champions League final at the Millennium stadium in
Cardiff, Wales.

The Zinedine Zidane’s men as become the first team
to retain their status as European champions with the
competition in its current format.

Real Madrid have now won 12 of their previous 14
European Cup/UCL finals, more than any other team in
history and a third in four seasons.

Real Madrid and Juventus featured in the first-ever
indoor Champions League final as UEFA decided to
close the roof for security reasons.

It was an entertaining first half that saw Juventus
started brightly, but conceded a goal against the run
of play when Cristiano Ronaldo finished with a move in
which the Italian side’s defence were carved open with
uncharacteristic ease in the 20th minute.

Ronaldo’s 104th Champions League goal never lasted
long as Mario Mandzukic equalised with an unreal
overhead kick in the 27th minute.

Casemiro fired Real into second half lead with a
swerving, dipping effort from distance that bounced on
the line as it scraped in in the 61st minute.

Ronaldo scored his 105th and 12th 2016/17
Champions league in the 63rd minute to extend Real’s
lead.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the 1st player to score a brace in
a UCL final since Diego Milito for Inter V Bayern in
2010.

Marcelo beat his man and pulled the ball back across
the box for Marco Asensio, who coolly tapped into the
corner of the goal for Real’s fourth in the 90th minute.
