We kick-off with football, and a David and Goliath affair in the Champions League. Title holders, Real Madrid would travel to face Cypriot champions APOEL Nicosia in their penultimate Group H fixture. A victory for Los Blancos would seal their place in the knockout stage, while their opponents were seeking their first win of this year's tournament.

Zinedine Zidane's side, were second in the pool, and needed a victory to prevent third-place Dortmund climbing back into the qualification discussion.

And things start off well for the visitors, this clearance lands right to Luka Modric, who volleys in an incredible effort from the edge of the penalty area - the Croatian putting his team in front after 22 minutes.

Then Los Blancos are at it again about 15 minutes later, as Toni Kroos puts Karim Benzema through, and the Frenchman does the rest.

In the 41st minute Real make it 3 off a corner, as Nacho is able to karate kick in this effort, and the rout is on.

In first half injury time, Real are on the counter, with a couple players ahead of the defence, eventually, Ronaldo cuts inside and unselfishly finds the bearded Benzema who fires it into the open net 4-nil.

Ronaldo gets on the scoresheet, scoring his 112th Champions League goal in the 48th with a header off Marcelo's cross from the left.

He then nets again in the 54th, firing home after Perez' clearance struck the onrushing Benzema. Ronaldo wraps up Real's biggest Champions League away win and now has 18 goals in the competition this year, extending his record from 16 and taking his overall Champions League scoring mark to 113.
