Number 15 for Madrid...

Jude Bellingham: 'Ancelotti has unlocked a part of my game that I didn't know I had'
The pressure is a lot, in the club there is the bubble of players and staff but outside it feels like the world is on top of you. Something happens in training and five minutes after it is in the media. But nights like this are why you want to play for this club, the pressure builds and builds but then you win and it is an amazing feeling.
He [Carlo Ancelotti] has unlocked a part of my game that I didn't know I had. That is the thing about world class coaches, they make you realise how good you can be and test the limits of your potential. It is like being at school again, you learn something new every day and get better and better.

Edin Terzic: 'Very tough to find the right words'
Difficult [to take]. Very tough to find the right words. Performance wise we showed a great game but we also found out why they [Madrid] just became European champions for the 15th time. They have been so effective and this is something we missed. The proud thing is that we gave a really good game and we showed everyone that we came here not just to play a game but to win.
We were very close and it's been small things missing. Congratulations to them. To keep this kind of hunger to go and win it again, you see why they are the true champions.
Yes I am [proud]. That is the first thought. A proud moment. We brought nearly 100,000 people to London and everybody had the belief we could make it. It was a fantastic journey this year in the Champions League a great campaign, but to be honest it is a little empty inside. It was a great opportunity to win it and we unfortunately didn't make it.

Fan reaction...
Anonymous: About time this trophy is renamed the Real Madrid trophy. I'm happy for Bellingham, though. He's been quite level-headed.
Anonymous: Absolute class from Real, Carlo is arguably the GOAT, Kroos checks out with his 6th European Cup and passes the baton to Bellingham…nice to have a proper club as European Champions again!
Paddy, Dublin: Madrid win European title again despite not looking anything close to being the best team in Europe. It's like everything aligns in luck to get them through group stages and finals.

Carlo Ancelotti: 'We are not going to sleep'
It seems a dream but it is reality. Really happy for sure. Really difficult game as usual, they played better first half, we played better second half, but a final is always like this. We were able to win, a fantastic season and we are really happy to be able to win the cup again.
It is the history and tradition of the club, of course the quality of the players, the club is a family, we work altogether without problems and the atmosphere is really good in the dressing room. I need to thank the club and the players, no big egos, really humble, it was not difficult to manage the squad this season.
I don't know what we are going to do, but for sure we are not going to sleep.

Jose Mourinho: Ten Hag 'not able to get the best out of Sancho'
As a player, he [Jadon Sancho] is talent. We saw what he can do, there are no doubts about it. What happened at Man United, if I look at my own history, sometimes I failed with players.
The kid made mistakes, but for sure his manager wasn't able to get the best out of him.

Rio Ferdinand: Family 'play such a big part'
I never forget when we [Manchester United] won in Moscow, you imagine the whole stadium screaming and shouting - I heard my mum's voice.
My mum was screaming and clambering over people to get to me before we went up the stairs to get the trophy. That is one of the most emotional moments I have had in a football stadium.
I know what it's like, the family is there. They play such a big part in getting us to this stage. They have to be a part of it.

'Fans just rocking up fuelled by excitement'
Interesting that there is no perimeter ticket check outside Wembley which means fans without tickets can gather.
That was one of problems before the Euro 2020 final here - but so was alcohol and this is now a drink free area. All good so far. Fans just rocking up fuelled by excitement and nothing else.
