"We needed to put out a stong balanced team to win the game and at the same time rest some players, we lost a bit of concentration in the second-half but that is normal with the tie at 5-0, I can't criticise my team, we are here on merit," he said.

"For APOEL to get to the quarter-fianls is the biggest achievement of this season's Champions League, bigger than if ourselves, Bayern or Barca win the competion, so I am happy for them," he added about the Cypriot side.

APOEL started the game playing very deep looking to frustrate the home team, a tactic that denied Madrid in the first leg until the 77th minute.

Real Madrid, however, were quicker off the mark this time and on two minutes Gonzalo Higuain took advantage of a poorly cleared Ronaldo cross to head just wide.

A defensive error by Savvas Poursaitides three minutes later allowed Ronaldo a clear shot on goal from close range but Urko Pardo, the Spaniard in the APOEL goal, blocked well.

The Cypriots began to settle after those early scares and started to enjoy some possession.

On 20 minutes they made their first attacking foray into enemy territory and Sergio Ramos had to make a timely tackle as Ailton bared down on Iker Casillas in the RealMadrid goal.

Ronaldo went close again on 25 minutes when he headed a Nuri Sahin free-kick over the bar, but a minute later he made no mistake for the opening goal when a Marcelo cross from the left-wing found him unmarked six yards out.
