There was a harsh dismissal of Arturo Vidal that turned this tie just as Bayern were set to create history of their own, and appeared in control, and then Ronaldo's second goal was scored from an offside position as he chested the ball down and stabbed it home. After subbing on Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez, both would combine to help Cristiano Ronaldo score on a diving header that went right under the outstretched arms of Manuel Neuer.

The Madrid talisman appears to have rediscovered his best form in the Champions League.

Bayern Munich have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the sixth consecutive season.

"I only ask that [the fans] do not whistle: that they stay quiet, always", Ronaldo said.

"Perhaps they won't boo him anymore".

Robert Lewandowski has scored in each of his last three Champions League games (3 goals); he's never done four in a row in the competition.

Real, who host title rivals Barcelona in El Clasico on Sunday, were without injured Wales forward Gareth Bale. "But we have a lot of important games and tomorrow we'll see what happen".

Zidane did not say who will replace Bale, but Francisco "Isco" Alarcon - who scored twice to lead Madrid to a late 3-2 win over Sporting - is expected to start.

Bayern's fatigue was apparent as Marcelo danced around Kimmich, then laid the ball off for Ronaldo to tap home - again with a suggestion of offside - and complete his hat trick with a landmark goal. "It makes you very angry". Bayern teammates Mats Hummels and Jerome Boateng also have been nursing injuries, while Javi Martinez is suspended. "It hurts to go out in extra time, but we were a man down for over an hour across the tie".
