Real Madrid president Florentino Perez placed the club's 12th UEFA Champions League trophy in the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu museum on Wednesday.

Los Blancos made history as no team had retained the trophy in the competition's modern format, before they claimed an impressive 'Duodecima' ('Twelfth' in Spanish).

Real's Champions League victory almost guarantees Cristiano Ronaldo a fifth Ballon d'Or title when the award is handed out at the end of the year, which would bring him level with Lionel Messi; over the past nine years the pair have shared the trophy.
