Real Madrid put the seal on a fine Champions League group-stage campaign as they won 2-0 at FC Copenhagen on Tuesday — even if Cristiano Ronaldo did miss a penalty in the process.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men have topped Group B by some distance and finish with 16 points from 18 after a record-breaking night.
Luka Modric’s fine opener was the 31st successive European game in which they have scored, setting a new competition record, before Ronaldo made it safe after the break. The Ballon D’Or winner-in-the-making had a chance to make it two late on from the spot but those in the Danish capital were stunned as the normally-faultless frontman’s effort was saved.
Ronaldo now has the record of becoming the first player to score nine goals in the group stages of the Champions League.
The loss, although expected, leaves Copenhagen out of both the Champions League and Europa League, even before Galatasaray and Juventus replay their abandoned game, espn informs.
