And despite mounting a second-half fightback with Ronaldo on target, Zinedine Zidane's side could not join Barcelona in the semi-finals.

The opener came as John Guidetti's effort rebounded off Keylor Navas and went in off full-back Danillo.

Ronaldo made amends for his earlier miss by powering home a trademark set-piece.

But Sergio Ramos missed a guilt-edged chance to pull Real level on aggregate.

And Daniel Wass added a second for Celta with five minutes to play to put Celta in pole position.

Substitute Lucas Vasquez scored a late consolation for Real, who have been on a poor run since the winter break.

Zidane's side smashed eight goals without conceding in their first two matches of 2017  but suffered a costly league defeat against second-placed Sevilla.

Los Rojiblancos are just one point behind Real in La Liga, albeit having played an extra game.

But in positive news for Zidane, Gareth Bale posted a video of himself on an anti-gravity treadmill as he aims to return to training this week.
