Ronaldo leads Real Madrid

Ronaldo scored three goals as defending champion Real Madrid advanced to the semifinals of the European Champions Cup, and AC Milan got a late goal to become the third Italian team in the final four. Real Madrid advanced to the semifinals for the fifth time in six years despite a 4-3 loss at Manchester United. The Spanish team, seeking its record 10th title in Europe's top club tournament, won the home-and-home, total-goals series 6-5. After playing to a scoreless tie two weeks ago, five-time champion AC Milan defeated Ajax Amsterdam 3-2 on a goal by Jon Dahl Tomasson one minute into second-half injury time.
