Former Juventus midfielder Sunday Oliseh had nothing but praise for Real Madrid after the La Liga champions secured their 12th Champions League by thrashing Juventus 4-1 in the final in Cardiff on Saturday night.

A brace from Portugal star Ronaldo and additional tallies from Casemiro and Marco Asensio secured the win for Real Madrid, while Mario Mandzukic scored a goal of fantastic quality for The Old Lady in the first half.

Zinedine Zidane's side became the first team to retain the Champions League, sixteen months after the Frenchman was appointed manager.

''C. Ronaldo & Zidane led Real Madrid are worthy Champs & a Pleasure to watch. Deserved to be 1st to defend D Champions League, ever.Congrats,'' tweeted Oliseh.

Oliseh joined Juventus in the summer of 1999 from Ajax Amsterdam, and scored one goal in 14 appearances for the club in all competitions before he joined Borussia Dortmund the following season.
