Marseille were undone by the brilliance of Cristiano Ronaldo as they crashed out of the Champions League with a 3-1 Group C defeat to Real Madrid at Stade Velodrome.

Ronaldo hit two classy goals near the start and end of the match, with Raul Albiol also on target for Los Merengues.

Lucho Gonzalez had earlier equalised for L'OM but he turned from hero to zero after missing a penalty that would have made it 2-2 with 21 minutes left.

The match got off to a cracking start with Real taking a fifth-minute lead thanks to a wonderful Ronaldo free-kick.



The former Manchester United forward came in for strong criticism following his petulant antics during Madrid's 4-2 Liga win over Almeria at the weekend, but he atoned for his histrionics and red card with a spectacular shot from all of 35 yards that rose, dipped and curled into the top left.
