Ronaldo on the double as Real through

REAL MADRID joined Barcelona in guaranteeing their qualification for the Champions League knockout stages as two Cristiano Ronaldo goals gave Jose Mourinho’s men a 2-0 victory at Lyon last night.

Ronaldo scored in each half to secure a win which, coupled with Group F rivals Ajax’s 4-0 hammering of Dinamo Zagreb, maintains their five-point lead in the group and ensures their progression.

Ajax still have work to do to join them but they did their hopes no harm with their crushing victory over the Croatians, with goals from Gregory van der Wiel, Miralem Sulejmani, Siem de Jong and Nicolas Lodeiro.
