Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th goal for Real Madrid as the nine-time winners secured early passage into the Champions League knockout phase with a 2-0 victory at Lyon on Wednesday.
In his 105th match for Madrid, Ronaldo curled in a free kick in the 24th minute and then reached his century from the penalty spot in the 70th after being fouled by Mouhamadou Dabo.
The Portugal forward's former club, Manchester United, went top of Group C with a 2-0 victory over Otelul Galati as Benfica dropped to second with a 1-1 draw with Basel.
Real Madrid is the only team in the group stage that has won all of its matches and has yet to concede a goal, the team joining defending champion Barcelona and AC Milan in advancing with two games to spare.
In Lyon, Madrid stifled the hosts in midfield and Ronaldo managed to exploit a crack in the defensive wall from a free kick to place the ball out of the goalkeeper's reach.
Ronaldo threatened a couple of times in the second half before firing the spot kick into the middle of the net to make it 2-0.
Madrid tops Group D with 12 points, five clear of Ajax, which routed Dinamo Zagreb 4-0 to lead by three points ahead of Lyon.
