"[It was a] first rate goal. What can i say? wonderful," Ronaldo stated. "I didn't anticipate to score that goal.
"however let's talk about the sport. I assume the game become excellent. And we scored three goals against Juve -- a brilliant team.
"We performed pleasant and of course i'm satisfied I helped the team, I scored two goals -- [it was] a extremely good night."
real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane joked his own wonder strike within the 2002 Champions League final against Bayer Leverkusen was "better" than Ronaldo's.

"We had a top notch game," Zidane stated following Madrid's win in Turin.
"prevailing right here 0-3 isn't easy. We suffered a piece due to the fact we had to. After that, we knew that we should make it hard for any crew with our attacking potential.

"I think it is the first time that i've been given a yellow for being fouled. The tie? it is now not over but.
"We could've extended our lead, but we weren't capable of. Now we've to finish [the tie] off.
"Ronaldo's overhead kick? It turned into a 'golazo.' he is also won the prize of fans recognising that he is played at this degree for so many years.
