However, Real Madrid came back stronger in the second half as Brazilian international, Casemiro, put Real Madrid back in the lead in the 61st minute.
It wasn’t long before Ronaldo returned to the spotlight and scored the Vikings’ third goal in the 64th minute.
The final nail in the coffin came in the 90th minute of the game when Real Madrid’s Asensio scored the fourth and final goal, handing the Champions League trophy to the Spanish club for the second year in a row.
A lot of people praised the tactical work of Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, who has been an exceptional manager over the past few months.
He has managed to win both the Champions League and La Liga with the club within his first 18 months as head coach.
