Real Madrid are the most successful team in Champions League history, having won the competition an impressive 14 times. However, among the players, there are a few Champions League final heroes who spring to mind. That said, who are the 4 Real Madrid players with the most Champions League final goals?
4 Real Madrid players with the most Champions League final goals
2=. Sergio Ramos (2 Champions League final goals)
Impressively, a former Real Madrid defender kicks off this list with two Champions League final goals. Without a doubt, Sergio Ramos is one of the best defenders in the history of the game and one of the greatest to play for Real Madrid.
His first Champions League final goal came against Atletico Madrid in 2014 as he equalised in stoppage time, allowing for extra time, when Real Madrid won the match. Ramos' second Champions League final goal ALSO came against Atletico Madrid, but this time he opened the scoring in a match which Real Madrid eventually won on penalties (with Ramos also scoring a penalty).
2=. Raúl (2 Champions League final goals)
Joint with Sergio Ramos is another Real Madrid legend, Raúl. The legendary striker won three Champions League titles with Real Madrid, scoring in two finals.
Raúl's first Champions League final goal came in 2000, when Real Madrid beat Valencia in the final. It was an easy-coasting game, as Real Madrid were already 2-0 up before Raúl did what Raúl does best, securing the win for Real. His second Champions League final goal came in 2002, when Real Madrid beat Bayer Leverkusen in the final. It was Raúl who opened the scoring in this 2-1 win.
1=. Gareth Bale (3 Champions League final goals)
Although Gareth Bale's time at Real Madrid didn't go exactly to plan, he will always be considered a club legend for his work in Champions League finals.
Bale scored 3 Champions League final goals for Real Madrid. His first Champions League final came against Atletico Madrid in the 2014 final, the same game which Sergio Ramos scored the equaliser. Bale's involvement came in extra time, where he put Real Madrid a goal ahead.
Then, four years later in the 2018 Champions League final, Bale scored a brace, including perhaps the greatest goal in Champions League final history. He took advantage of a Karius disasterclass by scoring a deflected shot before cementing himself into history, scoring an incredible acrobatic goal.
1=. Cristiano Ronaldo (3 Champions League final goals)
Cristiano Ronaldo is the Real Madrid all-time scoring leader in Champions League history but his most important goals came in the Champions League final, scoring on three occasions. He actually has a fourth if you factor in his earlier years with Manchester United.
For Real Madrid, Ronaldo scored his first Champions League final goal in THAT final against Atletico in 2014. The game seemed dead and buried after Real Madrid's late show, but Ronaldo secured it with a penalty as the last kick of the game. Then, in 2017, Ronaldo scored two Champions League final goals against Juventus, the team he went on to join. A legend, needless to say.
