Lyon survived a Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired comeback from Juventus on Friday to book a Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City, which took advantage of two shocking mistakes by Raphael Varane to beat Real Madrid 2-1 in their Champions League last 16 second leg and advanced to the quarter-finals.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace, including an unstoppable long-range goal, to give Juventus a 2-1 win over Olympique Lyonnais but it was not enough as the French side reached the quarter-finals on away goals.

After both sides converted contentious penalties in the first half, Ronaldo struck from out of the blue on the hour but Lyon clung on for a 2-2 aggregate draw to set up a quarter-final with Manchester City in next week's Final Eight tournament in Lisbon.

"We are super satisfied with our performance and super happy to go to Lisbon," said Lyon defender Leo Dubois.

"We need to be aware that we have the qualities to play this quarter-final, we need to give it our all, like we did tonight."

Needing to score three unanswered goals in order to go through, Ronaldo tried his best to drag the Italian champions over the line.

He leveled the scores on the night with a penalty of his own with two minutes left in the opening period before crashing a second home on the hour mark.

However Juve performed poorly and Lyon managed to hold on to set up a clash with Pep Guardiola's City, who put out 13-time winners Real Madrid and came out on top in his duel with Zinedine Zidane.

The Frenchman had never been knocked out of Europe's elite club competition as Real coach, leading them to three consecutive victories between 2016 and 2018 in his first spell before returning to the job last year.

But Madrid had been left with a mountain to climb in this tie after throwing away the lead to lose 2-1 in the first leg in Spain in February, before the coronavirus forced the competition into hibernation.

An identical defeat at an empty Etihad Stadium means it is City who advance 4-2 on aggregate.

Without Sergio Ramos due to suspension, Real were undone by mistakes by their other first-choice centre-back.

Varane was dispossessed inside the box in the ninth minute allowing Raheem Sterling to put City ahead, and his poor headed backpass attempt gifted Gabriel Jesus another goal midway through the second half.

Before that second goal the tie had been in the balance with the in-form Karim Benzema having scored for the visitors just before the half-hour mark.

The circumstances may be highly unusual, but this is still City's finest Champions League result, their most significant victory in a knockout tie.

"We beat a top team, the best club in this competition so for us it is massive," Jesus told BT Sport.

City's best performance in the competition remains a run to the semi-finals in 2016, when they went out rather limply to Real.

Now, with only two former winners still involved in Bayern Munich and Barcelona, City should very possibly be considered the favorites to win the competition in Lisbon on August 23.

City will now head to Lisbon for the "final eight" tournament where they will face Olympique Lyonnais on August 15. 

"It's an important first step, to beat Real Madrid is incredible, but we have to go to Portugal. Eat well, be together, laugh and work a lot and arrive in the best moment to play Lyon and try to get to the semis for only the second time. We have to be calm," said Raheem Sterling after the victory.
