Real Madrid sub Nacho Fernandez (left)celebrates with Cristiano Ronaldo after his goal against PSG. When Nacho Fernandez, Madrid born and bred, a product of Real's youth system, came on to replace injured Brazil international Marcelo after half an hour, his immediate mission was to help shore up a leaky defense being sorely tested by the French champions.But just five minutes later the 25-year-old scored what would be the only goal of the game, putting Real into the last 16 with two Group A matches still to play. It also gave Real a record 19th group match unbeaten, moving clear of Spanish rival Barcelona. On a good night for English clubs, Manchester City qualified for the last 16 for the first time by winning 3-1 at Sevilla.Fernandinho set up Raheem Sterling for an eighth-minute opener and the Brazil midfielder doubled City's lead soon after with his first Champions League goal when Wilfried Bony's effort was only parried.
