Ronaldo latched on to Mesut Ozil’s through ball to clip over Fernando Muslera after nine minutes and Karim Benzema converted Michael Essien’s cross 20 minutes later. Susbstitute Gonzalo Higuain’s second-half header from Xabi Alonso’s free kick gave Real a comfortable cushion ahead of their trip to Istanbul next Tuesday.Ronaldo started the ball rolling with the first goal in Real Madrid’s 3-0 win over Galatasaray in the quarter-final first leg at the Bernabeu. It took his tally to nine for the season – and a remarkable 18 in his past 16 games in the competition.Sergio Ramos’s late booking means he will miss the second leg but it does ensure he will be available for the semi-finals.
