| First goal of the night by Ramos |
Real Madrid moved a step closer to a 10th European Cup as they blew away
defending champions Bayern Munich to reach the final of the Champions
League on a record-breaking night at the Allianz Arena.
Holding a 1-0
lead from the first leg of their semifinal, a first-half brace from
Sergio Ramos and two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo -- which took his
season's Champions League tally to a record 16 -- handed Real a
comfortable 4-0 win that takes them to the Estadio da Luz to face either
Chelsea or city rivals Atletico on May 24.
The only
negative for Real on a night when they took their goal tally in this
season's Champions League to 37 -- another record -- was a booking for
Xabi Alonso that rules the midfielder out of the final.
