Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos hailed Zinedine Zidane's tactical plan after their 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
The Champions League holders took a 3-1 last-16 first-leg lead into the clash at Parc des Princes and rarely looked like surrendering their advantage against the Ligue 1 leaders.
Cristiano Ronaldo broke the deadlock 51 minutes in, tieing another Champions League record in the process , and Casemiro struck the winner with 10 minutes left to secure a 5-2 aggregate triumph, Edinson Cavani having briefly given 10-man PSG some hope after Marco Verratti's red card.
Zidane opted against risking Luka Modric and Toni Kroos from the start after recent injuries, instead naming Mateo Kovacic and Casemiro in central midfield, with Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez on the wings.
