Wolfsburg vs. Real Madrid: Goals, Highlights from Champions League Match

Wolfsburg and Real Madrid entered into their UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg on Wednesday night on the back of some polarising recent form.

Die Wolfe had failed to win since their round-of-16 victory over Gent, while Los Blancos had won their previous seven engagements, including that emphatic Clasico victory at the weekend.

It took just two minutes for Madrid to put the ball in the back of the net, but Cristiano Ronaldo was adjudged to be offside:

Against the odds, however, it was the home side that took the lead, when Casemiro felled Andre Schurrle in the box and Wolfsburg's Ricardo Rodriguez converted from the spot:

In the 25th minute, Die Wolfe completely went off-script by going 2-0 ahead via Max Arnold:

As the second half progressed, Madrid weren't able to get a goal out of Wolfsburg, but Toni Kroos was able to get a tooth out of Vieirinha's mouth:

Marcelo was also guilty of a comically bad dive:

It was perceived to be the easiest quarter-final draw possible for Real Madrid, but a very poor performance and a 2-0 final result has given them much to do in the second leg. More to follow...
