Real Madrid made sure of their place in the knock-out stage once again after an emphatic 0-6 win at APOEL Nicosia on Tuesday night! All the goals came in a brilliant half hour period either side of half time, Modric firing the visitors into the lead, Benzema scoring twice and Nacho also netting before the break, and Ronaldo adding two more after the restart. Madrid will only finish second however after Tottenham also won in the other group game.
