Ronaldo says Real Madrid had more experience than Atletico.

The Portuguese skipper scored the winning penalty in Real's 5-3 shootout win after Juanfran missed for Atletico.

The win - after the match had finished 1-1 - brought Real's 11th European title and their second in three years, coming against the same opposition.

"It is a great and memorable night for us," said the legend.

"Our team showed more experience and we showed it by scoring all the penalties."

Zinedine Zidane's side led through Sergio Ramos' close-range finish in the first half, before substitute Yannick Ferreira Carrasco equalised for Los Rojiblancos 11 minutes from full time.

A scoreless extra-time meant the match went to penalties and Atletico full-back Juanfran was the unlucky man, striking his effort against the post before Ronaldo stepped up for the winner.

"But penalties are always a game of luck, you never know what will happen," said Ronaldo, who has now won the trophy three times.

Midfielder Luka Modric and Gareth Bale picked up their second Champions League title with Real Madrid after joining from Tottenham in 2012. While Modric has total of 71 passes which was the most by any Real player in the match.

"We were calm on penalties and we deserved to win," said Croatia international Modric. "I feel sorry for Atletico but I am glad for ourselves.

"This is the competition of Real Madrid, the 'undecima'. This trophy belongs to Real and that is why it is the best club in the world."
