Injury worry for Ronaldo as Real take command
Gareth Bale poked Madrid ahead early, with Isco soon doubling his side’s advantage with a neat strike. Cristiano Ronaldo then all but ended the tie in the second half, before the Portuguese limped out of the game with a knee problem which was his side’s only real concern on the night.
Recent La Liga slips had worried the Bernabeu faithful but the stadium was happier only three minutes in when Bale controlled a Dani Carvajal cross and then toe-poked the ball past Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller.
