Madrid got the better of Monchengladbach 2-0 at home in their final [[Champions League</a> Group B game to book their place in the last-16 stage of Europe’s premier club competition.
Zinedine Zidane’s side headed into the match against the German club at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium in third place in the group and in real danger of going out of the competition.

Madrid defender Ramos has revelled in the win for his side and has also hailed his teammate Benzema for his heroics.
Era el da, era la hora, era el momento.
