Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo has praised teammates Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema for taking the club to victory and winning the 10th European Crown.
The 29-year-old Portuguese national team Captain, who scored a record-breaking 16 goals in the Champions League this season, was full of praises for his pals at Real.
He said that the relationship shared by the three footballers was crucial to their attacking potential on field and described their connection as 'nearly perfect'.
