Cristiano Ronaldo was the hero – hitting a timely hat-trick - as Real Madrid secured passage to the Champions League semi-finals courtesy of 6-3 win on aggregate against Bayern Munich.
Robert Lewandowski converted a penalty after Casemiro caught Arjen Robben in the area just after half time to give the visitors the lead on the night but Ronaldo levelled matters with a trademark header late in the second half.
