Real Madrid's pass master: Isco matches Xavi in Champions League win over Juventus

Cristiano Ronaldo may have stolen the show but Isco produced a passing masterclass in Real Madrid's 3-0 Champions League away win over Juventus on Tuesday, according to Opta.

Ronaldo scored two goals, the second of them an outrageous overhead kick that led to a standing ovation from the home fans, to put the reigning champions in complete control of the quarter-final tie at the halfway stage.

The Spain international - who provided the assist for Ronaldo to break the deadlock in the third minute - became the first player to record a 100 per cent completion rate when attempting 50 or more passes in the competition in four years.
