A loud sound panicked thousands of fans gathered in Piazza San Carlo to watch the match pitting Juventus against Real Madrid on giant TV screens.
A calf injury also saw him nearly miss the Champions League final, but he made his return off the bench in Saturday's 4-1 win over Juventus.
"Our only regret of the season is not to have played this game better".
"It's been a special season", said Ronaldo, who scored twice against Juventus to finish as the competition's top scorer for the fifth straight year.
Madrid have won the Champions League three times in the last four years and their French forward Karim Benzema said: "It's incredible, to win one, then two, then three!" But the 27-year-old says he is determined to remain in Madrid and add to his impressive trophy collection at the Bernabeu.
"It has been an incredible end to the season by us".
"The team has worked hard from the first minute. we have done a marvellous double".
"He is the only one to win two consecutive Champions Leagues", added Perez. "We'll speak with the coach; he is the person who will decide the future".
The Frenchman, who won the Champions League as a legendary player for Real between 2001 and 2006, has enjoyed spectacular success since taking his first role in senior management just 18 months ago. I feel that it was correct the team that started the game.
"This is what we are here for".
As fans celebrating on the streets of Cardiff proudly sang "Somos los reyes de Europa (We are the kings of Europe)", a traditional team chant, it was only fitting that one of the dignitaries congratulating players in the changing rooms was Spain's former King Juan Carlos.
A third Champions League win in four years has drawn comparisons to the great Real side that won the first five editions of the European Cup between 1955 and 1960. One player nearly certainly to leave is James Rodriguez, who arrived amid high expectations after the 2014 World Cup but didn't get a lot of playing time under Zidane.
