Prior to last season’s Champions League final against Liverpool, Ronaldo made a rousing speech to his Madrid colleagues in a bid to inspire them to a third consecutive title.
Madrid released a teasing trailer for a new behind-the-scenes documentary, which features the five-time Ballon d’Or winner and their all-time top goalscorer delivering a speech in the dressing room moments before kick-off in Kiev.

In the video, Ronaldo can be heard saying: ‘To play, to win, to make history. For the third time in a row.
‘Let’s enjoy another final and let’s agree to do it for those who have supported us. Let’s win.’
Ronaldo’s motivational words appeared to pay off as Madrid – then managed by Zinedine Zidane – beat Liverpool 3-1 thanks to a Gareth Bale brace and Karim Benzema’s fortunate opener.
