Real Madrid Vs. Bayern Munich, 2012 UEFA Champions League: Ronaldo Doubles Lead

Stay connected with SB Nation

Real Madrid had been under pretty much constant pressure since going ahead, but they managed to break out of their own half and then score again through Cristiano Ronaldo. That's far, far too easy - Karim Benzema draws the centre backs out of position and then Phillipp Lahm fails to track the Portuguese's run, leaving him completely free down the centre.

Mesut Ozil picked Ronaldo out with a perfect pass, and he didn't miss, finishing perfectly into the bottom corner. This tie has been completely turned around within the first fifteen minutes, with Real Madrid going ahead 3-2 on aggregate thanks to their two early goals. Bayern haven't played badly by any means but a harsh penalty and a meltdown in defence have really hurt them here. It's difficult to see a way back for the Germans now - they need the next goal.
