Match Report

Trailing by two goals after their quarter-final first leg defeat in Germany, Real erased Wolfsburg's lead within 17 minutes as Ronaldo's quick-fire double - his 14th and 15th Champions League goals of the season - restored parity.

Wolfsburg were able to keep Real at bay for another hour but the pressure finally told as the three-time Ballon d'Or winner notched his third treble in Europe this season with a sumptuous free-kick 13 minutes from time.

The comeback means Madrid become only the third team in Champions League history to overturn a two-goal first-leg deficit.
