Cristiano Ronaldo has joined fellow Real Madrid goalscoring great Alfredo Di Stefano becoming only the second man to score in three European Cup finals.
Ronaldo netted in the Champions League final in 2008 in Manchester United's win over Chelsea in Moscow, Real Madrid's 4-1 win over Atletico Madrid in Lisbon in 2014 and opened the scoring against Juventus in this year's final in Cardiff.
He is the only player to score in three finals since the tournament was rebranded as the Champions League in 1992. Di Stefano scored in five straight European Cup wins between 1956 and 1960.
It put Los Blancos on the brink of their first league and European Cup double in 59 years as they seek to become the first side to retain the European trophy in successive seasons in the modern era before Mario Mandzukic drew Juventus level with a stunning overhead kick effort.
Ronaldo has gone past Jimmy Greaves as the top goalscorer in Europe’s top five leagues with 368 goals between the Premier League and La Liga, while also passing the milestones of 400 goals for Real and 100 Champions League strikes.
