Cristiano Ronaldo relished his return to Manchester as Real Madrid earned a 1-1 draw with Manchester City to progress to the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Real Madrid were ahead on the 10 minute mark through in-form marksman Karim Benzema. Angel di Maria delivered a sumptuous pass from wide and Benzema's positioning was perfect to strike at the far post.

Cristiano Ronaldo caused Vincent Kompany all kinds of problems on the evening but could not get his name on the score sheet.

Manchester City got a late equaliser in the 73rd minute when Sergio Aguero converted a spot-kick after Arbeloa's foul in the area which resulted in a second booking and dismissal for the Real defender.

City could not find a winning goal, the draw condemning them to an early Champions League exit. Real's point, combined with the fact that Borussia Dortmund won in Amsterdam, means they progress to the knockout phase of the competition.
