Real Madrid recovered from a stunning1-0 defeat against Getafe in the Primera Liga on Saturday to produce a hefty away win.

Sergio Ramos opened Real’s account with a deft header from a 10th minute header from a 10th minute corner.

Raul scored his 54th Champions League goal in the 34th minute when he pounced on Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s shot that rebounded from Steaua’s keeper for Real’s second.

Valentin Badea pulled one back for the home side in the 64th minute before Van Nistelrooy sealed the win with a fantastic looping ball in the 76th minute.

"I was pleased with the football we played because it isn't easy to come here and win by such a margin," added the former Juventus boss.
