The world's most expensive footballer also got on the scoresheet with a fine effort and Marco Verratti netted too.
As such Unai Emery's side can be backed at odds of 7-2 in most places to win Europe's top competition for the first time in their history.
Real Madrid (9-2) play Spurs at Wembley tonight and the team with 12 titles to their name are currently second-favourites to lift the cup for a 13th time.
The sides drew 1-1 when they met at the Bernabeu last time round.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is fancied as a future Real manager.
And he recently admitted he was "proud" seeing his name linked to arguably the top job in club football.
Pipping his side (25-1) to third in the betting places though is Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola's men lead the Premier League and have so far looked untouchable on the domestic front.
Their best odds of 7-1 look pretty tasty, especially as Guardiola will be under the cosh to deliver silverware following a barren first season in charge.
And don't expect Guardiola not to notice that his former side are below him in the betting markets.
That stalemate represented the first time they had failed to score in a Champions League group stage match since December 2012.
As a result they like at 7-1, with Bayern Munich 8-1, Manchester United best odds of 14-1 and Chelsea currently 25-1 - the same as Liverpool.
