Cristiano Ronaldo was not only instrumental in Real Madrid’s Champions League victory against Juventus, but the Portuguese forward also helped lead his side in their celebrations.

Zinedine Zidane’s side became the first team in history to retain the Champions League, after defeating their Serie A counterparts 4-1 courtesy of a brace by Ronaldo and further strikes by Casemiro and Marco Asensio.

Ronaldo, who secured an incredible ninth trophy in just over a year, was vocal in the club’s celebrations at the Santiago Bernabeu as the players paraded the club’s  12th European triumph.

Adamant that Ronaldo would secure another Ballon d’Or, fans of Los Blancos in attendance at the Bernabeu started chanting ‘Balón de Oro, Cristiano Balon de Oro, Balón de Oro, suggesting that the 32-year-old is due for his fifth Ballon d’Or award.

Beaming with pride, Ronaldo was also heard and seen chanting the tune.
