There was, however, a moment of brilliance from Juventus as Mario Mandzukic's bicycle kick levelled proceedings before Ronaldo, Casemiro and Marco Asensio ended Juve's hopes.
Here, Sportsmail provides you with some things you may have missed during the Champions League final in Cardiff.
Cristiano Ronaldo showed a less graceful side to himself as he jumped off the stage in Cardiff
He appeared to injure himself as he held the base of his back and pulled an unsightly grimace
We will wait for you to finish, will.i.am
It's only one of the most important nights of the footballing calendar, but we were made to wait for the kick-off in Cardiff.
All
thanks to the pre-match entertainment. Pop band Black Eyed Peas got
lost somewhere between I've gotta Feeling and Boom Boom Pow during their
mash-up and time escaped them.
This all resulted in the match kicking off three minutes late... like we haven't waited for this game long enough!
Black Eyed Peas overstayed their welcome and delayed kick off by three minutes
Ronaldo makes history
Cristiano Ronaldo has written himself into the history books time and time again — and Saturday was no different.
The Portuguese has now made it three Champions League finals which he has scored in.
His
first goal came in the 2008 final on his way to victory with Manchester
United and his second six years later when he netted in the final for
Madrid to beat bitter rivals Atletico in 2014.
Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the first player to score in three Champions League finals
Ronaldo with the humblest of brags
Ronaldo was as modest as ever when he netted Real Madrid's first before the floodgates opened.
After scoring his first, the forward appeared to gesture to the crowd and say in English: 'One chance, bang!'
He was right, though, to be fair.
Ronaldo scored with his first chance of the match to put Real Madrid in front in Cardiff
Leonardo Bonucci to Alex Sandro, Sandro to Gonzalo Higuain then Mario Mandzukic. Easy.
The Croatian's strike was the highlight of the night for Massimilano Allegri's side
Ronaldo attempted an incredibly audacious overhead kick in an attempt to not be upstaged
Los Blancos quickly changed from their purple away kit to their white shirts after the match
