Goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro ensured Los Blancos progressed through to the quarter-finals, building on their first-leg victory in Madrid.

The Parisians faced an uphill battle in trying to overcome Real's two-goal advantage going into the tie, especially given their superstar playmaker was crocked with a fractured foot.
