Real Madrid thrash APOEL 6-0 but finish second in Group H
Reuters Published in Ahram Online on 22 - 11 - 2017

Holders Real Madrid sealed a place in the Champions League last 16 with a thumping 6-0 victory at APOEL Nicosia on Tuesday but will still finish runners-up to Tottenham Hotspur in Group H.
Cristiano Ronaldo wrapped up Real's biggest Champions League away win with two goals at the start of the second half. He has 18 in the competition this year, extending his record from 16 and taking his overall Champions League scoring record to 113.
Zinedine Zidane's side, who have been inconsistent in La Liga this season, were already coasting thanks to first-half goals from Luka Modric, a Karim Benzema double and Nacho strike.
Spurs' 2-1 win at Borussia Dortmund means they have claimed top spot on 13 points, with a game to spare, ahead of Real on 10 points. APOEL will fight it out with Dortmund for third place and a Europa League spot, with both teams on two points.
Modric opened the scoring for Real in the 22nd minute with a bouncing volley from the edge of the penalty area after APOEL's Vinicius failed to clear a Dani Carvajal cross from the right.
Benzema doubled the lead in the 39th when he was put clean through by Toni Kroos, following neat interplay between the German, the Frenchman and Portuguese Ronaldo.
APOEL's defence appeared to freeze in the build-up after they thought the referee would blow for a foul on Ronaldo. Benzema made no mistake though ending his recent goal drought.
In the 41st minute Real made it 3-0 when Nacho prodded home from close range, after his central defensive partner Raphael Varane knocked down Marco Asensio's corner from the left.
Real scored again when Benzema doubled his tally following a lightning break in first-half added time, Ronaldo unselfishly finding the Frenchman who passed the ball into an empty net.
Ronaldo finally got on the scoresheet himself, scoring his 112th Champions League goal in the 48th with a simple header off Marcelo's cross from the left. He then netted again in the 54th, firing home after Perez' clearance struck the onrushing Benzema.
