Real Madrid qualify to the quarter-finals of the Champions League as they beat Liverpool 1-0 to win the sides’ last-16 tie 6-2 on aggregate.
Having done much of the hard work in handing out a come-from-behind thrashing in the first leg at Anfield, the 14-time winners did not need to be at their best in the return fixture.
But they impressed in largely managing Liverpool’s threat, ensuring the visitors did not receive unnecessary encouragement in their bid for a comeback in the form of an opening goal.
And a mature second-leg performance was capped off late in the day when Karim Benzema tapped into an empty net from close range to send his side into the last eight in style.
