“I had a vision. I knew I was going to score the winning goal. I asked [Zinedine Zidane] to let me take the fifth penalty because I was going to score the winning goal.

“Zidane has done a phenomenal job. He deserves it, he has humility and I’m happy for him. Balon d’Or? Winning the Champions League was first and to be the top scorer. It’s the seventh year I’ve scored more than 50 goals, for the first time in history.”

“It puts a lot of years on you. Firstly, congratulations to Real Madrid – once again they were superior to us, this time at penalties,” the Coach told UEFA.com.

“We started the game badly, then we got ourselves organised from the 20th minute. In the second half we could have equalised very quickly but our intention was clear.

“I don’t know which defeat hurts the most. What really hurts me is to see the hurt of the people who’ve paid to come here – I feel a bit responsible that I wasn’t able to give them what they wanted. That’s what really hurts.

He added to the Spanish media: “It’s clear that no-one remembers who finishes second. Losing two finals is a failure and the best team always win.

“Madrid were the best team because they won, and we couldn’t solve [the game] in the penalty shootout. It’s time for me to think.

“[On his future], I’m only thinking about thinking, nothing more than that.”
