Cristiano Ronaldo gave his former coach one more dazzling display of his skills, and delivered a trophy to Real Madrid in the process.
Ronaldo scored a pair of highlight goals, lifting Real Madrid to a 3-1 victory over Chelsea in the final of the Guinness International Champions Cup.

"We played beautiful football," Ronaldo said.
Marcelo also scored for Real, who became the event's inaugural champion by topping a Chelsea club now being coached by Jose Mourinho. He left Madrid earlier this year for a return to Chelsea, and after years of enjoying watching Ronaldo frustrate opponents, it was Mourinho who could not find a way to stop him.
"He's a great player," Mourinho said. "If he scores goals, that is not news. If he doesn't score goals, that would be news."
Ramires equalised for Chelsea, before Ronaldo's two goals in front of 67,273 fans at Sun Life Stadium, home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins.
The colourful Mourinho took what were considered a few subtle jabs at Real Madrid leading up to the final, though Ronaldo took the high ground when asked about his former coach before the match.
After the final whistle Ronaldo clearly was enjoying the moment - but insisted that his two after-goal celebrations were not in any way directed toward Mourinho.
"I don't worry about the other people," Ronaldo said.
This match, the finale of an eight-team tournament, was supposed to be merely an exhibition between two strong teams, part of the preseason preparations for players.
The way they played certainly did not suggest that either side found this one to be meaningless.
"I would expect those two teams to play it seriously," said Los Angeles Galaxy forward Landon Donovan, whose team fell to AC Milan earlier on Wednesday in the third-place match of the eight-team event.
Donovan was proven correct.
With the match tied at 1-1 in the 30th minute, Ronaldo was the recipient of a hard foul from behind by Branislav Ivanovic. Ronaldo merely smiled as he sat on the turf, adjusting his uniform, while most of the other players convened for a bit of shouting.
Ronaldo got his revenge on the resulting free kick. From about 20 metres his strike curled to the left, sneaking just under the crossbar and off the fingertips of diving goalkeeper Petr Cech.
And in the 57th minute, Ronaldo struck again, perfectly timing his run towards the goal line and sending in a header for a two-goal advantage. That left Mourinho with a blank expression and the outcome essentially decided.
Ronaldo had the crowd in a frenzy at that point, including one fan who got onto the field later in the game.
Wearing a Ronaldo jersey, he was able to not just get to the Real Madrid star, but wrap him in an embrace near the sideline and share some words for several seconds before police officers escorted the man off the field.
Mourinho had raised eyebrows by calling the Brazilian player Ronaldo, who is retired, "the real Ronaldo", a phrase that served as the perceived shot at the Real star - and his former club.
"It's not my movie … It's not my problem," Mourinho said.
"I only concentrate on what happens on the field," Ronaldo said. "What happens outside the field does not affect me. My only job is to help Real Madrid."
