Real Madrid cruise into Champions League quarterfinals

Real Madrid cruised into the Champions League quarterfinals with a 3-0 thumping of Lyon.

Real won the tie 4-1 on aggregate.

Marcelo, Karim Benzema and Angel Di Maria struck the goals as Madrid put to bed their miserable record of having fallen at this same last-16 stage for six successive editions - including against Lyon last season.

The victory also means Madrid are a step closer to winning a record 10th European title, and keeps coach Jose Mourinho on course to conquer Europe with three different teams following his success with Porto and then Inter Milan last year.
