Real Madrid eased towards a fourth consecutive Champions League semi-final as Cristiano Ronaldo equalled another goalscoring record in their 3-0 win over Borussia Dortmund at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.
Looking to avenge their semi-final defeat at the hands of the Germans last season, Madrid flew out of the traps and were ahead within three minutes when Gareth Bale poked home from Dani Carvajal's pass.
Isco doubled Real's lead after 27 minutes as his low shot from the edge of the area curled into the bottom corner.

However, Real's night was soured somewhat as Ronaldo had to be substituted late on due to what appeared to be a minor knee injury.
Madrid had also suffered a disruption just before the game as Angel di Maria was ruled out with gastroenteritis, but they didn't miss a beat without the Argentine as his replacement Isco pulled the strings in midfield and they started with great intensity.
Bale opened the scoring with his 17th goal of the season as he controlled Carvajal's low centre before finishing first time.
Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller then had to make two brilliant saves from a free-kick each from Ronaldo and Bale.
However, there was nothing the German international could do to prevent Isco's precise low effort finding its way into his bottom right-hand corner.
