Draxler has already experienced a nightmare at the Bernabeu

The German footballer caused an upset with Wolfsburg as his side defeated Real Madrid 2-0 in the first leg. A good result to hold onto in the return fixture, although in the end 'Los Blancos' would be the team that made it through to the next round.

Zidane's men returned to the Spanish capital having made life difficult for themselves. Beforehand, the odds were on Madrid to win, but after their defeat in Germany few people were confident of a comeback. 

However, at the Bernabéu, they started to breathe a little easier from the start. The Real Madrid players were lifted by the huge home support. 

Draxler's spirits were deflated at the 30 minute mark, by which point Cristiano Ronaldo had levelled the tie with two goals in two minutes, bringing great joy to the Bernabeu. 

Wolfsburg's number ten suffered an injury, forcing him off the pitch, and his team were unable to stay in the game. The German forward couldn't help his team to reverse the situation. 

Cristiano Ronaldo rounded off his brilliant performance with a hat-trick, putting Real Madrid through to the next round. Zidane's men ended up going all the way, beating rivals Atletico Madrid on penalties to lift the Champions League trophy.
