After another potent demonstration of Cristiano Ronaldo's enduring scoring prowess, surely no Real Madrid fan can contemplate criticizing him now.
Particularly after the world player of the year ensured Madrid pulled off one of soccer's hardest feats, becoming the first team to successfully defend their Champions league title.
The fans who irritated Ronaldo so much ahead of Saturday's final due to their whistling were silenced in emphatic style with two goals in a 4-1 victory over Juventus that gave Madrid a record-extending 12th European crown.
"People don't have words to criticize," Ronaldo said, "because the numbers don't lie."
They certainly don't after another incredible season, even at the age of 32.
"My age is just a number," Ronaldo said. "I feel like a young boy."
At the end of the 25th season of the Champions league, Ronaldo is the first player to score in three of the competition's finals. And having lifted the European Cup once with Manchester United, Ronaldo has done it three times in four seasons with Madrid.
It's the latest piece of silverware in an incredible 12 months for the forward.
It began with Ronaldo winning his first title with Portugal at the European Championship. Then came the Club World Cup with Real Madrid and the end of a five-year Spanish title drought before new highs were reached in the Champions league.
Juventus conceded more goals on the night than it had on the journey to the final, having let in only three in the previous 12 games.
"In the second half Real Madrid pushed the accelerator," Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said, "and we remained too static and sat back too long."
Madrid's attacking brilliance proved too hard for Juventus to contain, giving Zinedine Zidane his second Champions league title in 18 months of top-flight management.
"Zidane believes in us a lot," Ronaldo said. "He knows that we are a very good team and that is why we proved it in the second half."
Madrid had a lot to thank Keylor Navas for in the opening minutes. The goalkeeper blocked a header and strike from Gonzalo Higuain, and produced a one-handed save when Miralem Pjanic picked a gap through a crowd of defenders.
For Madrid, it was the culmination of a counterattack of breathtaking speed launched by luka Modric and Toni Kroos. Karim Benzema picked up possession and passed to Ronaldo. The world player of the year knocked the ball across to Dani Carvajal on the right flank before drifting into the penalty area to receive it back and beat Buffon.
Real’s domination was verified after the break when Madrid went back in front - through Casemiro's strike that deflected off Sami Khedira.
It owed much to Madrid controlling midfield, largely thanks to Modric, who set up Ronaldo's second.
Juve's night took a turn for the worse when Juan Cuadrado was dismissed for a second booking in the 84th.
"(Madrid) showed their class and the attitude needed to play in this kind of game," Buffon said after losing a third final in Champions league.
