Real Madrid edged out Manchester United from the UEFA Champions League, thanks to a controversial 2-1 away win at the Old Trafford in London on Tuesday night.
The Jose Mourinho-led side came back from a goal down to progress at the expense of the Red Devils.
Christian Ronaldo turned out to be the hero of the day as he grabbed the winner for Madrid against his former club.
The controversial expulsion of Nani by the referee in the early stages of the second half perhaps took the shine off the victory of the Spanish side.
The Real Madrid players hardly celebrated their win, ostensibly because of the unjustifiable red card issued to Nani.
The whole stadium went quiet after the referee issued the red card.
