After winning 1-0 in the first leg at the Bernabeu stadium, “los blancos” not only maintained the goal difference but also taught a lesson to the reigning champions by thrashing them 4-0.

Ancelotti had already warned the day before that his team would not play defensively. So Ramos opened the score, the first of the night for him, in the 16th minute, leading the way to victory as he and Cristiano (2 goals), scored to finish the game, the latter became top scorer of the competition with 16 goals.??
