3-2: A win and a Cristiano Ronaldo record to close out the group stage

Champions League nights at the Santiago Bernabéu are always special occasions, regardless of what's at stake. Real Madrid, who had already sealed their passage into the next round, brought the curtain down on their group-stage campaign with a 3-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund in a game that saw Cristiano Ronaldo become the first player to find the net in each of the six group-stage matchdays. Borja Mayoral and the Portuguese striker put the hosts two goals to the good in what was a rip-roaring start from Zinedine Zidane's men, after which Borussia hauled themselves level, before Lucas Vázquez struck after the break to seal the win.

With five changes from the side that started at San Mamés, Real Madrid came out all guns blazing right from the off. Ronaldo made his intentions clear with his very first touch as Burki palmed away his powerful strike with just three minutes on the clock. However, this proved to be a foretaste of what was to come as Madrid forged ahead. The game was barely eight minutes old when the Portuguese forward shaped in a cross from the left that Isco touched on to Mayoral, who finished with aplomb to claim his maiden Champions League goal. The home fans weren't made to wait long before seeing their side double their advantage. Indeed, just four minutes had elapsed when Cristiano Ronaldo picked the ball up on the edge of the area and unleashed a strike which caught the visitors by surprise as it flew into the net. A sublime strike and one that clinches a record to boot.

Chances
Real Madrid were an offensive juggernaut and far from settling on their lead, they went in in search of a third. Casemiro and Theo poured forward in attack and both came close to extending the hosts' lead. However, Dortmund responded to the madridistas' lightning-quick start and began to pose a threat, with Pulisic heavily involved in the visitors' first sights on Keylor Navas's goal. In the 38th minute, Asensio entered the fray for the injured Raphaël Varane and on 42' Mayoral came a whisker away from claiming his second of the night. However, it was the Germans who were next to strike as Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, who had earlier failed to finish when clean through, nodded home to make it 2-1 (43').
