Real Madrid were able to defy the odds to win with Galatasaray having more players out on the field than the hosts for much of the night.
Ronaldo sat this one out but Bale, Arbeloa, Di Maria and Isco all found the back of the net to effectively take the three points despite the Turkish giants equalising through Umut Bulut in the first half.
Goals and key events:
37' Bale
38' Bulut
51' Arbeloa
63' Di Maria
80' Isco
