Ronaldo celebrates Madrid's Super Cup win

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo was quick to celebrate his team's UEFA Super Cup extra-time triumph after sitting out the clash in Trondheim.

Working his way back to full fitness following a knee injury suffered during Portugal's Euro 2016 victory last month, Ronaldo watched from home as Madrid overcame 10-man Sevilla 3-2 thanks to Dani Carvajal's stunning 119th-minute winner Tuesday.

With the match — pitting the Champions League winners against the Europa League victors — seemingly headed for penalties, Carvajal produced a fine solo goal to deliver yet another trophy to Madrid.

And Ronaldo took to social media shortly after the final whistle, posting a picture of his Madrid teammates holding the Super Cup trophy, accompanied with the caption: "Champions."

Champions.

Gareth Bale, Toni Kroos, Pepe and Keylor Navas also sat out the fixture at Lerkendal Stadion.

Madrid will now turn its attention to a friendly against Reims on Aug. 16 before the club opens its La Liga campaign at Real Sociedad five days later.
