Real have won the Champions League three more times in the next four seasons. A hat-trick after winning three seasons in a row. However, when they did not get the title, the 2014-15 season was Ronaldo's best in personal success. He himself scored 71 goals in the service as well as scored 21 with his teammates.

 

Ronaldo was caught in just one of those three finals, scoring two goals in a 4-1 win over Juventus. In the previous year's final, Atletico broke the hearts of the fans once again by sending the ball into the net in the last shot of the tiebreaker.
