Real Madrid vs. Wolfsburg: Goals and Highlights from 2016 Champions League Game

Real Madrid went into their UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg against Wolfsburg with a difficult task on their hands.

Zinedine Zidane's side lost the opening tie 2-0 in Germany last week but got the early goal they so badly needed when Cristiano Ronaldo swept home Dani Carvajal's deflected cross:

And Wolfsburg's advantage was completely wiped out when Toni Kroos' corner found the head of Ronaldo one minute later:

Into the second half, and Sergio Ramos thought he'd put Real ahead, only for his header to hit the post and somehow not cross the line:

Real finally got the all-important third on 77 minutes when—who else—Ronaldo fired a free-kick through a weak Wolfsburg wall:
