MADRID: Cristiano Ronaldo hit a hat-trick to reach 101 Champions League goals as Real Madrid beat Bayern Munich 4-2 after extra time in Tuesday's quarter-final second leg to advance 6-3 on aggregate.

Ronaldo restored Real's lead on 105 minutes as he brought up a century of goals in Europe's top club competition. He then completed his treble before Marco Asensio added a fourth.
