WHAT THEY SAID

ZINEDINE ZIDANE Real Madrid coach

“It’s been a very happy year. We had early problems but in the second half we were clearly superior. We kept the ball better, played higher up and physically we won the game as well as with our determinat­ion.

“When you manage to achieve things it gets easier but there’s a lot of hard work behind all of that.

“I have the luck to be in a great club with a great side.

“The way we played the second half was quite spectacula­r. When we play first-touch what happens is what happened – and to score four goals against Juventus is not easy.”

CRISTIANO RONALDO Man of the match

“We have a team that is fantastic so I prepared myself to be at my best in the final phase of the league season and the Champions League and I scored important goals so I’m very happy indeed.

“It’s been an amazing season, again we have won important trophies and it’s one of the best moments in my career. It seems I keep saying that every year!”

MASSIMILIA­NO ALLEGRI Juventus coach

“We played beautifull­y in the first half but in the second half Real Madrid put their foot on the accelerato­r and we sat back for too long.”
