Real Madrid and Juventus went head to head this past Saturday in the Champions League final with Real Madrid handling Juventus in a 4-1 victory. Real Madrid made history winning the first ever back to back Champions League titles. Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a shot from a deflection off a cross to put Real up 1-0. Juventus answered back 7 minutes later with arguably one of the best goals of the year and one of the best goals ever in the Champions League.

The momentum of the game seemed to stifle after this goal with both teams going into half time at 1-1. Yet with the start of the second half, Real seemed to be putting major pressure on the Juventus defense and after Casemiro scored the second goal in the 60th minute it seemed to be over. Real had the momentum from that point on and Cristiano went on the score his second goal of the game no more than six minutes after the second putting Real up 3-1 with 2o min left to play. The Real defense was no match for Juventus’s offense as they were defeated 4-1. With Real winning both the La Liga Title and the Champions League, there is no doubt in my mind that Cristiano Ronaldo will win the Balon de Ore.
