The La Liga club took a 3-1 lead to Italy for their last-16 second-leg meeting with Napoli and Ramos pushed Real to repeat that scoreline by forcing an own goal and scoring himself.

Alvaro Morata added the gloss to a 6-2 aggregate win. Dries Mertens put Napoli ahead. "He's got a striker's instinct. Whenever he goes up for corners we have belief in him and when it comes to headers, he's got the ability to score," Navas said.
