Incredible footage emerges of Cristiano Ronaldo’s rousing team talk that inspired Real Madrid to beat Liverpool in Champions League final
REAL MADRID have released incredible footage of inspiring team talks from Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos prior to their clash against Liverpool last season.
The La Liga giants claimed their third consecutive Champions League crown after beating the Reds 3-1 in the final in Kiev, courtesy of a Gareth Bale double.
And they could have been inspired to victory following a rousing speech from both Ronaldo and Ramos in the dressing rooms.
Gathering the squad in a group huddle before kick-off, the Portuguese international - possibly aware it would be his last game for Real - told his team-mates, "Play, win and make history!"
The Euro 2016 winner, 33, failed to get on the score sheet against Jurgen Klopp's side in Ukraine but still picked up his fifth Champions League title - his fourth with Madrid.
While the clip also shows central defender Ramos issuing a rallying cry before they took to the pitch.
The 32-year-old can be heard saying: "We are experiencing another final. Remember everyone who helped us, people.
"We are going to win. Go! 1, 2, 3, Real Madrid!"
The released video features on the forthcoming documentary, 'En el corazon de la Decimotercera' ('In the Heart of the Thirteenth') - referring to the 13 European Cups the club has won in its history.
While the clip also shows the dressing room celebrations, with Raphael Varane claiming Bale is from another planet following his exquisite overhead kick.
