It certainly sounded like the end of Bale and Madrid, given that he has always been unequivocal that he would stay or perhaps it was the ultimate power play that will see Ronaldo leave and the Welshman remain. While Bale was playing poker with his future in Madrid, so Ronaldo was declaring that he too would be leaving the club in the summer. The contract that he was promised by president Florentino Perez after victory in Cardiff last summer has never materialised and afterwards it fell to Zinedine Zidane to try to head off a crisis on this, his greatest night.

They had the only attempt on target in the first half from Trent Alexander-Arnold, the first teenager to start a Champions League final since Johan Neeskens for Ajax in , and yet even then Madrid felt in control.

We weren't good enough. We have to thank the fans. We have a fantastic squad and a fantastic manager. O bviously I was very disappointed not to start the game, I thought I deserved it. I'm just happy to get the win. We let everyone else speak, we know how hungry and determined we are and we showed it again today.
