PEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! THAT'S THAT. APOEL Nicosia 0-6 Real Madrid.
Los Blancos have run riot here in Cyprus. They looked on top of their game from the get-go and opened the scoring in the 22nd minute. And when it rains, it pours.
The defending champions bullied APOEL on their home turf and buried their hopes 6 feet deep.
That's it from the yap centre. Gotta rest these fired up limbs of mine, thank you so much APOEL defence.
92' Ceballos finds Asensio on the left side of the box. He can't go past the defenders but wins a throw-in. Madrid still trying to get ahead and score one more.
90' Dani Carvajal gets a yellow card for time-wasting. He will miss the next match. Rather silly there. But it's hard to believe that it was pre-meditated. There is no point to it anyway.
89' I feel like the ref should just blow the whistle as soon as the clock hits 90 and just put APOEL out of their misery. If this was a boxing match, the post-match presentations would've been done half an hour earlier and I would be napping right now.
84' Asensio leading the counterattack as it is 6 on 2 in their favour. But Asensio's squared ball is not finished off and APOEL break on the counter. End to end stuff suddenly. But APOEL are wasteful in possession once again and lose out on a good opportunity to pull one back.
83' Aloneftis tries to cross one in from the left flank after APOEL break on a counter. But his cross is too close to the near post and Casilla has to flick it over the bar for a corner. Ronaldo clears the subsequent corner out.
81' Horrible freekick and Real Madrid break on the counter again. Asensio surges ahead to find Theo Hernandez in space down the left side of the box. He squares it to Ceballos who slides to reach it but it lands awkwardly for him and the ball is chipped over the bar.
74' Carvajal skips past 2 defenders and then tries to find Mayoral who tries to feed it back to him. Unfortunately, APOEL clears for a corner. The corner is rubbish though.
71' Varane with an enterprising run down the centre, goes past 3 defenders before finding Asensio on the left side of the area. Asensio's shot is blocked out for a corner by Perez. Lucas Vasquez is flagged offside as he tries to make a run in behind the APOEL defence.
69' You gotta give it to the APOEL fans who are still singing their hearts out in the stands despite the terrible performance they are bearing witness to.
67' Cristiano Ronaldo is brought down on the right flank. The ref keeps his cards inside his pocket but awards Madrid a freekick. Asensio will swing this one in.
62' Ronaldo and Benzema have crashed into each other and both of them seem to be in some pain. Carvajal was crossing the ball in from the right and both attackers wanted it for themselves.
