Two minutes added.

So Real's unbeaten run continues as they head into Sunday's El Clasico with another victory under their belts.

Schalke going through the motions now as their fans continue to sing loud and proud.

Isco jinks into the area on the right but flashes a shot high into the crowd.

Real haven't really hit anywhere near top gear tonight but could easily have had another five or six.

Once Ronaldo overtakes Puskas on the list of all-time goalscorers for Madrid, he’ll have just Raúl (323), Di Stéfano (307) and Santillana (290) ahead of him.

OFF THE POST! Ronaldo breaks free and looks all set to complete the hat-trick, but his low shot cannons back off the post! Unlucky.

Morata drives down the left and drills in a low cross for Bale who miscues wide.

Anthony Annan back from a long injury lay-off replaces Kaan Ayhan.

Bale's free kick is cleared for a corner. The Welshman gets a second chance but this time the Germans see it out.

Papadopoulos booked for bringing down Bale on the right, just outside the area.

Also worth pointing out Ronaldo has now equalled Ferenc Puskas's tally of 242 goals for Madrid.

That makes it 9-2 on aggregate, matching Real's record aggregate success in the CL.

GOAL! Real Madrid 3-1 Schalke. A lapse at the back allows Real to make it two in a minute. Morata sees his first shot saved and Ronaldo's follow up hits the bar, but Bale is on hand to tee up Morata again to tap home.

GOAL! Real Madrid 2-1 Schalke. Ronaldo gets his second of the contest, as he races at two defenders before drilling a low shot in at the near post. Simply sublimeReal lead 8-2 on agg.

Draxler with an ambitious 40-yard run from his own half. The visitors lose some of their impetus and the chance goes as Real begin a counter...
