Zidane revels in Real Madrid's 'unbelievable' Champions League achievement

Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane revealed his team could not yet fully appreciate what they had achieved after winning the Champions League for a third consecutive season.

Madrid claimed their 13th title in Europe's top-tier competition thanks to Saturday's triumph in Kiev, defeating Liverpool 3-1 with a huge helping hand from Reds goalkeeper Loris Karius.

Karim Benzema and Sadio Mane traded goals early in the second half before Gareth Bale came off the bench and sealed Madrid's place in history with two goals – the first an overhead kick and arguably the greatest seen in the competition.
