REAL MADRID CAME FROM A GOAL DOWN AGAINST NAPOLI IN THE SECOND LEG OF THEIR CHAMPIONS LEAGUE LAST-16 TIE TO PROGRESS TO THE QUARTER-FINALS.




Napoli were completely predominant in an uneven first half and led the pack on 24 minutes when Marek Hamsik put Dries Mertens through on objective as Real's barrier disappeared. 

However, chief Sergio Ramos got one and had another header diverted in by Mertens after the break to put the holders in charge.

Alvaro Morata then followed up Cristiano Ronaldo's shot to finish an agreeable triumph.

Genuine's cautious shortcoming was splendidly misused by Napoli's strategy in the primary half - a high-squeeze put Pepe and Marcelo under weight before Hamsik strung a flawless through ball to Mertens who completed well in the base corner.

Be that as it may, the Italian side at last neglected to take their different risks - Hamsik bubbled numerous shots wide before Mertens hit the woodwork and Real in the end made them pay.

The Spanish mammoths have now achieved their seventh progressive Champions League quarter-last and are unbeaten in their last 12 Champions League matches (W7, D5); their longest keep running without annihilation in the Champions League or European Cup.
