导出博客文章Real Madrid and Wolfsburg became the first teams in this seasons Champions
League to progress to the quarter-final stage. Ten-time European champions Real
booked their place in the last eight with a straightforward, yet unconvincing,
2-0 victory over Roma at the Santiago Bernabeu, going through 4-0 on
aggregate.It was an historic night for Bundesliga hopefuls Wolfsburg as they
reached the quarter-finals for the first time in their history, overcoming Gent
4-2 on aggregate after a 1-0 second-leg victory at the Volkswagen Arena. Here,
Sky Sports discusses five talking points after another night of European
action...Bale looks bright on returnThe Welshman, who made a goalscoring return
against Celta Vigo at the weekend, featured from the start for the first time
since picking up a calf injury on January 17, and lasted just over an hour in a
lively outing.He looked bright from the off, linking up well with Marcelo to
create Reals first chance, and put in a series of dangerous crosses from the
left flank. Gareth Bale made his first start for Real since January 17 Only Toni
Kroos and James Rodriguez, who both played 30 minutes longer, managed more key
passes and in an end-to-end encounter. All that effort meant Bale visibly tired
in the second half and he was replaced by Lucas Vazquez.His return makes Ronaldo
happy, and thats key for Real as the Portuguese star again proved the difference
on the night, while Bale now has plenty of time to rest up before a trip to Las
Palmas on Sunday.Real back on track?Zinedine Zidanes side have bounced back with
three straight wins after their derby defeat to Atletico Madrid on February 27,
but the 2-0 win on Tuesday doesnt tell the whole story.Far from it in fact,
because for an hour Roma made things extremely difficult for the Spanish giants.
The Italians continually profited from Marcelos attacking instincts, as Mohamed
Salah caused problems all evening down Reals left.He twice squandered one-on-one
chances, while Edin Dzeko fired wide early on with only Keylor Navas to beat.
Cristiano Ronaldo set Real on their way to the last eight with the opening goal
The Real Madrid goalkeeper made fine saves from Alessandro Florenzi and Kostas
Manolas before Real put the game beyond their opponents with two goals in four
second-half minutes.Somehow, despite all that, Real Madrid have still not
conceded a goal at home in the competition. On this evidence, theyll do well to
extend that record.James responds to jeersAfter struggles with form and fitness,
James received the backing of manager Zidane ahead of Tuesdays game, and the
Colombian responded with an improved performance.It wasnt perfect, and the
Bernabeu crowd threatened to turn after a misplaced cross at 0-0 failed to find
an unmarked Ronaldo, but he took his goal neatly.The former Monaco man never
shied away despite the jeers, taking 91 touches - second only to Kroos - and
made the joint-most key passes and won the second-highest number of duels over
the course of the evening. James Rodriguez silenced some of his critics with a
goal against Roma But he also lost possession five times more than any of his
Real Madrid team-mates, and throughout the first-half he looked on a different
wavelength to Ronaldo.That changed after the break when Real took control, as
James tested Wojciech Szczesny with an acrobatic scissor kick before firing
under the Roma keeper for Reals second.It wasnt a performance to convince all
the doubters, but its a start.Wolfsburg limp into last eightThe German side
improved in the second half against Gent to reach the quarter-finals of the
Champions League for the first time in their history, but they will have to up
their game further if they are to progress again.Gent had more possession at the
Volkswagen Arena, and seemed the more confident side in the first half as they
looked to pick up from where they left off in the latter stages of the first
leg. Andre Schurrle and team-mates celebrate Wolfsburgs progression Wolfsburgs
attacking line-up - namely Andre Schurrle, Julian Draxler and Max Kruse - look
threatening on paper, but they didnt move past second gear on Tuesday night.Is
this the real, inconsistent Wolfsburg we have seen in the Bundesliga? Their
performance against Manchester United in December suggests not, but in truth,
they may be many sides desirable opponents in the last eight.Gents bright
sparkGents best player, and perhaps the best player from either side on the
night, was Moses Simon, the 20-year-old Nigerian forwarded previously linked
with Tottenham in the British press.Despite his age, he has played 32 times for
the Belgian side this season as they look for a second successive Pro League
title, and on Tuesday night had Wolfsburg right-back Christian Trasch chasing
shadows. Moses Simon was the stand-out player for Gent as they exited the
competition He got past him with ease on four occasions on the left wing, with
decent delivery to boot, but Gents lack of commitment in filling the box was
their downfall in the second leg.To just about everyones surprise, he was
brought off with 20 minutes remaining with the score goalless, but more
performances like that and we could see more press links across Europe. Also
