Cristiano Ronaldo was interviewed soon after scoring the winning penalty in Real Madrid's 11th Champions League Title.
"I'm very happy. It's a very special moment. For the fans who have always been with us, it's a magical moment."
Regarding the penalty:
"I had a vision, I saw that I would score the goal of the victory and I told Zizou: 'Put me in fifth because I will score the winning penalty and that's what happened.'"
About his manager, Ronaldo was full of praise:
"ZIzou has done a phenomenal job. He deserves it. He's humble and a gentleman and I'm very happy for him."
When asked if he would win a fourth Ballon d'Or he brushed it off, but still stated his case:
"That will come naturally. The priority was to win the Champions League and I was the leading score in the tournament."
"This is the seventh year I have scored over 50 goals. The first to ever to do it. That's says it all."
