“The penalties are always a lottery, you never know what’s going to happen, but we showed that our team had more experience and we showed that we scored all penalties — it was unbelievable, a fantastic night,” Ronaldo told BT Sport.

“La Undecima gives you great satisfaction, first to the fans, who are able to answer all the club’s calls from anywhere in the world. In situations like this, you realise the greatness of Real Madrid,” he began.
“It’s not normal to win 11 European cups, but it’s true that it’s a competition in which the Real Madrid are comfortable, it’s in our DNA. Our greats such as Santiago Bernabeu, Alfredo di Stefano and Francisco Gento have told us that the European cup is the most prestigious competition in the world.
“Until January, we’d had a good run in the Champions League. Our slump was in part due to so many injuries, but I still thought we could do something like [La Undecima] because we have a great team and never lost hope of winning something important. Benitez did a good job. Don’t forget that.
[On the CL format], I think the future is open to everyone, a true European competition, and we’ll be there. At the moment it’s very complicated, but it’s a possibility in the future. We’ve asked UEFA about reformatting the Champions League because I think it’s somewhat worn.”
