VIDEO: Cristiano Ronaldo penalty wins Champions League for Real Madrid

Cristiano Ronaldo scored the decisive penalty in the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid as Real Madrid were crowned champions of Europe for the eleventh time after a dramatic penalty shootout in Milan.

The Portuguese captain, who had a relatively quiet game considering his standards, lashed the five and final Real penalty past Jan Oblak, with Atletico defender Juanfran’s miss proving to the difference between the sides in the San Siro after a riveting 120 minutes of football.

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos had given Los Blancos the lead in the first half, bundling home a freekick after Gareth Bale’s knock-on on after 15 minutes.
