Real Madrid have booked their spot in the last-16 stage of the Champions League courtesy of a thumping 6-0 win away to APOEL on Tuesday night.

Two goals from Roberto Firmino and another from Sadio Mane seemed to put Liverpool in cruise control, but a brace from Wissam Ben Yedder and an injury-time equaliser from Guido Pizarro crushed the visiting side.
