Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring for Real Madrid, Guti showed all his quality on five minutes pinpoint into the path of Portuguese. He burst away from Cris before firing the ball through Lloris’ legs from an unlikely angle, 1-0 for los Blancos.

Lyon had wrestled the upper hand of this game away from their hosts and would stun the Bernabeu with 15 minutes remaining. Delgado, who had looked dangerous throughout the second half, spun a low pass into the box for Lisandro, whose touch from 12 yards was perfect for Pjanic to march onto, take a touch and smash into the net.

An onslaught followed as Lyon defended for their lives but Real could not produce another comeback.
