For the second straight season, Real Madrid had the honor of lifting the Champions League trophy. The Merengues took down Juventus, 4-1, at the National Stadium of Wales in Cardiff, less than a year after they won Europe’s most prestigious tournament a season before.
Real Madrid lifted the trophy for the 12th time in their history and became the first team in the competition’s history to win the title in back-to-back seasons. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace in the match, while Casemiro and Marco Asensio also scored to seal Real Madrid’s victory.
This year’s trophy presentation had a twist, though.
