The build-up play was excellent, but Benoit Tremoulinas's failure to head away Pjanic's cross proved crucial and Bastos slotted in at the far post.

But Pjanic was the finisher as a clinical break saw him in space inside the area and he made no mistake with a firm shot from 12 yards.

Sidney Govou then put the game beyond the hosts with a header from a Pjanic corner that glanced off Peter Czvitkovics's arm before nestling in the bottom-right corner.

Miralem Pjanic's weak free-kick was easily blocked by the wall but the ball was hoofed back into the box where Ciani completely misjudged his clearance, with Mathieu Bodmer thumping the ball across goal for Lopez to divert home.

With Real struggling to impose themselves, the visitors went close again and were unfortunate that Pjanic's teasing free-kick was closest to centre-half Cris, who failed to make proper contact inside the six-yard box when any significant touch would surely have found the target.
