Madrid put down a marker in the Champions League
Real Madrid undoubtedly has the talent and experience needed to get the job done what the Champions League throws at them.
A knockout round play-off draw against Manchester City should have been a potential banana skin, but Madrid is well placed to make progress after winning the first stage.
The fact that they have achieved the performance in the Etihad Stadium speaks volumes about their ability to come to life when this competition reaches the business end.
A 3-2 shortage on the way to the reverse fixture in the Bernabeu Stadium is not insurmountable for the city, but it is unlikely that sports gamblers will use them to achieve the performance.
A last 16 draw against Atletico or Bayer Leverkusen is waiting for the winners of the draw, but the side of Carlo Ancelotti will not care who they are confronted with when they go through.
Atletico is a unique but familiar challenge for Madrid, while ruling Bundesliga champions have proven Leverkusen that they can be a handful.
Madrid's duo will probably hope that the draw will keep them apart, although that Atletico would place in a likely collision of the last 16 with Bayern Munich.
Bayern triumphed 2-1 at Celtic in the first stage of their play-off, and they are strongly depicted to complete the track in the Allianz Arena.
With the final planned to be played in the same stadium on 31 May, Bayern will be desperate to keep himself in the competition until the end.
Barcelona has a clearer idea about their potential opponents of the last 16 after Paris-Saint-Germain and Benfica have included victories in their respective play-off matches.
They are in pole position to achieve it to secure a draw against Barca or Liverpool. PSG would demonstrably be harder opponents, although it would be foolish to underestimate Benfica.
An-all Spanish final remains a possibility if the draw lands in the right way, although the Premier League tafeltoppers Liverpool may have something to say about that.
They won seven of their eight games during the opening phase and are worthy favorites with the bookmakers to lift the trophy for the seventh time.
However, Madrid has previously won the Champions League 15 times and is the value betting with a large scale of 5/1 to add another success to their count.
