Champions League holders Real Madrid are still on course to defend their crown with Cristiano Ronaldo in sensational form.

Liverpool overcame a shaky start against Manchester City at the Etihad to book their spot in the semi-finals as Mohamed Salah scored in their 2-1 win over Guardiolas side.
In Italy, Roma recorded a stunning 3-0 win over Barcelona to send Lionel Messi and Co crashing out of the competition.
Barcelona held a 4-1 lead from the first leg but an inspired display from the Italians saw them cause a huge European upset.
Meanwhile, holders Real Madrid looked to be heading out of the competition when they found themselves 3-0 down to Juventus in the second leg.
But Ronaldo popped up with the winner in the last minute to send them through.
