A Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick has saved Real Madrid and dragged the Spanish club into the semifinals of the Champions League.
Trialling 2-0 to German club Wolfsburg following the first leg, Real Madrid had it all to do to save themselves from a quarterfinal upset.
The prolific Portuguese got the 10-times European champions off to the perfect start by tapping in Daniel Carvajal's cross after 16 minutes and then headed a second goal less than a minute later from Toni Kroos' corner.
Ronaldo capped a 3-2 win on aggregate when he curled in a free kick after 77 minutes, his 16th goal in this season's competition taking him within touching distance of his record of 17 in 2013-14.
It is the sixth successive season that Real have reached the last four.
