Cristiano Ronaldo was the only player to practice penalties during Real Madrid's last training session before their Champions League final against Liverpool.

Kiev's Olympic Stadium could give way to a tense penalty shoot-out if the scores are tied after extra-time and Ronaldo wants to be prepared just in case.

Cameras caught the Portuguese forward practising his spot-kicks, making sure they were pin-point accurate.

He aimed them at all areas of the net: top, bottom, left, right, central and they were all on target, sparking fear among Liverpool supporters ahead of kick-off at 20:45 (CET). 

Real Madrid will be hoping to avoid penalties, like they did against Juventus last year. However, at least they can take comfort that Ronaldo is prepared for all eventualities. 

They have a good record too, beating city rivals Atletico Madrid from the spot in 2016. After 120 minutes, the score was tied at 1-1 but Real prevailed 5-3 in the shoot-out.
