Real Madrid secured their place in the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in three seasons with a clinical second-leg performance against Atalanta.
Leading 1-0 from the first leg, Real doubled their advantage in the tie when Luka Modric pounced on Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Sportiello's poor clearance to square for Karim Benzema to sweep home.
Skipper Sergio Ramos added Real's second from the penalty spot after Vinicius Junior was cynically tripped just inside the area by Rafael Toloi.
The Italian side pulled one back through Luis Muriel's marvelous 25-yard free-kick but Marco Asensio's near-post finish quickly silenced any thoughts of a late fightback.
Madrid, who won the Champions League four times in five seasons between 2014 and 2018, had been eliminated at the last-16 stage the past two years but never appeared in danger of succumbing to a similar fate this time around.
Away, specialists, Atalanta had won all four of their Champions League games on their travels this season and could have nullified their first-leg deficit within three minutes but Robin Gosens could only divert Muriel's pull-back straight at Thibaut Courtois from six yards.
