Zinedine Zidane picked Lucas Vazquez and Marco Asensio ahead of Isco and Gareth Bale as Real Madrid looked to hold onto their 3-1 advantage from the first leg. The holders put the tie nearly out of reach at the start of the second half, as Asensio played in Vazquez, whose outswinging cross was headed home at the back post by Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo's goal took his career total to 57 in UCL knockout games, with the Portuguese also scoring 22 times in his last 13 European matches including at least one goal in nine straight overall. But any hopes of a fightback were undone when Casemiro's shot from the top of the area took a wicked deflection and found the back of the net to seal passage for Madrid.
