Three goals from Ronaldo and a seventh Champions League semi-final

Madrid were once again grateful to Ronaldo's killer touch as the four-time World Player of the Year was pivotal in both legs against Bayern.

If there was any doubt left to the result, Asensio ended if by running into the box and beating Neuer for Madrid's fourth on the night.

However, Bayern's numerical disadvantage told after Vidal saw his second yellow card and Ronaldo made the most of an assistant referee's leniency to complete his hat-trick.

Poland's Robert Lewandowski was among footballers who stormed into a referee dressing room after Bayern Munich's Tuesday Champion's League defeat to Real Madrid, the Spanish Marca daily reported on its website.

"We were 2-1 up in the game, they got scared, and the referee began his show".

"We are not happy about this". We can say we played against the best team.

Bayern's lead has shrunk to eight from 13 points only a few weeks ago and coach Carlo Ancelotti will now need to assess how central defenders Jerome Boateng and Mats Hummels held up after having to play without having fully recovered from their injuries.

Ronaldo, though, remains an nearly unstoppable force when it comes to finding a route to goal.

Ronaldo took advantage at not being flagged for offside as he controlled and fired low past Neuer to become the first man to reach a Champions League century.

"We knew we had to play very well because Bayern can score goals from anywhere on the pitch and proved to be an excellent team, but Real Madrid is Real Madrid".

Madrid captain Sergio Ramos, guilty for the own goal that had given Bayern their second goal, aimed a lofted ball towards Ronaldo.

"I think they possibly lack a - apart from Lewandowski, when you look at Messi, Ronaldo, there's a couple of superstars that can win the game", the former Liverpool striker said.

Ronaldo hailed Zidane's repeated fearless decisions to rest him throughout the course of the campaign for his upturn in form at the most crucial part of the season.

"For the first time, I've got some sort of mad rage inside me, because we had a shafting".

His Real Madrid counterpart Zinedine Zidane did not want to discuss the refereeing but he claimed Bayern's second goal could have also been ruled offside.
