Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his delight after Real Madrid beat Juventus 4-1 in Saturday’s Champions League final in Cardiff, to lift the title for the third time in four years. Ronaldo scored twice at the National Stadium of Wales, to help his side become the first defending champions to retain the title in 27 years. They also clinched their first La Liga and Champions League double since 1958. “I had a spectacular end to the season. I prepared for that because things are won at the end of the season,” Ronaldo said. “It was a good choice by the coach and I’m very happy. “We are a very good team and in the second-half we showed how good we are. “I’m delighted. I’m top scorer in the Champions League again. It’s been a brilliant season.” Ronaldo has now won 20 major trophies in his glittering career, with four Champions League triumphs including one at Manchester United.

West Ham have put in an offer for Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho, according to Sky sources. City value the 20-year-old at £20m and several other Premier League clubs are reportedly interested. Iheanacho has started only once for City this year - on January 2 versus Burnley - and is not believed to be in manager Pep Guardiola's long-term plans. We reported earlier this month that West Ham were to keen to sign Iheanacho, with Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho enduring injury-hit 2016/17 campaigns. The Hammers have already agreed a deal for full-back Pablo Zabaleta, who will leave Manchester City when his contract expires at the end of the month and become a West Ham player on July 1.
