Real Madrid’s win stops Bayern Munich’s streak

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice for Real Madrid to beat Bayern Munich 2-1 in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal at Munich, ending the German side’s tournament record of 16 straight wins at home.

Ronaldo’s second-half goals made him the first player to score 100 goals in UEFA club competition. The Portuguese star ensured Madrid came from behind – after Arturo Vidal’s 25th-minute header for Bayern – to put the defending champions on course to reach the semifinals for a seventh successive year.

• Host Borussia Dortmund lost its rescheduled Champions League quarterfinal with Monaco 3-2 after tributes were paid to the player injured when three explosions targeted the German team’s bus.

Teammates of Marc Bartra, who underwent surgery for injuries to his wrist and arm after Tuesday’s attack, wore T-shirts emblazoned with the defender’s picture and words saying: “A lot of strength – we are with you.”
