Cristiano Ronaldo has thanked Wayne Rooney for wishing him well ahead of Real Madrid's Champions League final triumph over Atletico Madrid in Lisbon on Saturday.

Before the match, Rooney tweeted his former Manchester United team-mate and invoked the memory of the pair's triumph over Chelsea in the competition in 2008, saying: "All the best tonight Ronnie remember Moscow."

Ronaldo went on to score Madrid's fourth goal from the penalty spot in extra time as Los Blancos secured their 10th European crown over their city rivals at Estadio da Luz.

In doing so, the reigning Ballon d'Or winner broke the record for goals in a single Champions League season (17) and became the first player ever to score in two finals for different winning teams.
