World and European player of the Year Ronaldo says he was unimpressed by the performance of Italy's AC Milan and Juventus in Wednesday's Champions League final.
"It was obviously no great spectacle," the Brazilian striker told a news conference on Thursday when asked for his verdict on Milan's penalty shoot-out victory over Juventus. The game had ended 0-0 after extra-time.
"The Italians are going to think that the Spanish are being critical of their style of play, but we all saw that it was a very ugly and boring final for the spectators," the former Inter Milan player said.
"The result says that Milan are now the best team in Europe, but we (Real) have shown that we play the prettiest football in Europe."
Real, who were knocked out of the competition at the semi-final stage by Juventus, have won the Champions League three times in the last five years.
