Highlights

90+3

And that is the final whistle - a convincing win for Madrid in the end, but they made it stickier than they should have!

90+2

JUST WIDE FROM BENZEMA! Would have been a fabulous goal from range but a great save Vermeer again. He's had a fine game.

90+1

In the first of three added minutes.

90'

Lukoki on the right, but he appears to miskick it and Ramos clears.

89'

Corner to Ajax conceded by Arbeloa. Poor though, cleared back to Eriksen to just heads it straight to Casillas.

88'

Madrid break, could be a fifth here but Alonso's ball to Ronaldo catches him a touch off guard, he has to turn and play a team-mate in and the chance is gone.

87'

Eriksen loses out to Ramos before fouling the Spain defender. Ajax well beaten now but at least they scored!

86'

No, a goal kick is given. Maybe Ronaldo got the last touch - he looks perplexed, seemed a corner to me!

85'

Ronaldo almost gets a fourth but, flying in at the near post, is denied by a brilliant Blind tackle. Corner. Benzema's ball was superb.

84'

Real clear that corner easily enough, and the counter could be on now...

83'

Lukoki's first act is to win a free-kick off Marcelo, which results in an Eriksen corner.

82'

AJAX SUB: Babel has done little and is replaced by Lukoki.

81'

I was just about to say that Ajax's hopes are surely over now - make that definitely. Good thing I'm not a betting man, I had 3-1.

80'

GOAL REAL MADRID! HAT-TRICK FOR RONALDO! 4-1 and Ajax's comeback is dead in the blink of an eye. Lovely diagonal pass from Ozil on the right, nice first touch from C-Ron and a deft chipped finish inside the right-hand post. Game over.

79'

CR7 played a one-two with Benzema, great interplay there, and the Frenchman found Ronaldo on the edge of the box, the finish a dipping effort past a flying Vermeer. Great goal.

78'

GOAL REAL MADRID! Cristiano Ronaldo makes it 3-1 with a superb drive from range!

76'

Blind loves getting forward but his ball aimed into the box is off target this time.

75'

A bit of nonsense as Benzema tries to prevent a quick Ajax free-kick deep in the Dutch side's half.

74'

Benzema gives away a free-kick as Real prepare another change - a knackered Kaka replaced by Ozil.

73'

Boerrigter could be in here but Pepe gets there first and does well to draw a foul.
