Zinedine Zidane's side celebrated their penalty shootout win over Atletico by showing off the trophy to thousands of fans on the streets of the Spanish capital.
Real won their eleventh European by beating cross-city foes Atletico on penalties after a hugely engrossing final at the San Siro on Saturday evening.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winning penalty after the two sides could not be separated following 120 minutes of high drama in Milan.
Sergio Ramos had given Real the lead after just 15 minutes, as the Bernabeu side looked by far the stronger team in the opening half.
Diego Simeone's introduction of Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco at the break proved to be crucial though, as the Belgian winger scored an equaliser with eleven minutes of normal time remaining to force the extra period.
With both sides struggling with fatigue in the sweltering heat, it took penalties to separate the two rivals and Juanfran proved to the heartbroken man, as he saw his penalty hit the post before Ronaldo stepped up and scored.
