Inside Real Madrid's Champions League final triumph: Champagne, card games and Kendrick Lamar

PARIS -- Lucas Vazquez doesn't speak much French at all. But the Real Madrid utility player had no problem understanding one word, and repeating it after Saturday's 1-0 win over Liverpool in the Champions League final: "Cinq."

Karim Benzema had his right hand open, looking at his family members in the stands -- many of whom made the three-hour train journey from his hometown of Lyon to the French capital -- and shouting: "Cinq, cinq!" Vazquez then started shouting it, too, with a big smile on his face.
