FULL-TIME
It's a rout. And with this handsome victory Real Madrid regain top spot in Group G on a night in which Los Blancos' caretaker manager Santiago Solari further enhanced his reputation. Will this result land him the job permanently?
90'+3
CROSSBAR! Brilliant strike from Bale, but he's desperately unfortunate to see his effort cannon off the woodwork.

THREE minutes will be added on here.

GOAL UPDATE: Wow, late drama in Turin as Paul Pogba nets a late, late winner for Manchester United.
87'
Real Madrid will regain top spot in Group G, ahead of Roma on goal difference with only two matches to play. Solari's side meet the Italian giants on matchday six, a game which could prove to be a shootout for top spot.
85'
GOAL UPDATE: Manchester United have levelled at Juventus, courtesy of a Juan Mata strike.
84'
To their credit, Plzen are unwilling to give up the fight. They win a corner just now but Real deal with it comfortably.
81'
Real are knocking the ball around slowly, conserving their energy with a trip to Celta Vigo on Sunday waiting ahead of them.

Here they come again, white shirts swarming forward in large numbers. Isco leads the charge, he has Junior and Bale to his left. He rolls the ball to Junior who takes a heavy touch and the chance is gone.

Casemiro, as solid tonight as ever, wins a defensive header and Real are suddenly on the break. The move collapses, however, as Junior times his run slightly too early.

REAL SUB: My man of the match, Toni Kroos, is replaced by Isco for the remaining 18 minutes or so.

How many more will Real score? They had taken their foot off the gas for some time, but substitute Junior will be keen to get on the score-sheet now.
68'
They're enjoying themselves now, Real Madrid. If this is Solari's audition for the full-time job then it isn't going badly.
67'
GOAL! Plzen 0-5 Real Madrid
How about that?! Delicious goal by Kroos, but it's made by the promising Junior. The young Brazilian drives forward, eating up a lot of ground and then slips through Kroos. And the German international scoops it nonchalantly over the head of the goalkeeper and into the back of the net.
65'
Back to the action here and Plzen have steadied themselves here. With the exception of a chaotic 20-minute spell in which they conceded four times, the hosts haven't performed too badly.
64'
GOAL ALERT: Cristiano Ronaldo scores against his former club to put Juventus ahead on the night against Manchester United.

REAL SUB: Vinicius Junior will have around half-an-hour to impress here as he takes the place of two-goal hero Benzema.

JUST WIDE! Real are robbed of possession on the edge of their own box. Plzen can't capitalise though, Hrosovsky slices his shot wide when he ought to do better.
