Christiano Ronaldo came to the rescue of his club to push them through to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
Real Madrid had suffered a 2-0 loss in Germany against Wolfsburg last Wednesday and it almost looked like an uphill task for the Spain giants to qualify for the semis.
But the 10-time Champions League winners beat their opponent at the Bernabeu to scale through to the next round of the competition.
The former Manchester United player scored a brace within a minute in the first half; 16th and 17th minutes, to level the aggregate.
But in the 77th minutes, the Portuguese struck the third time in the match from a set piece to complete his hat trick.
Madrid controlled a major part of the match as they dictated play.
