Real Madrid’s 2-1 lead from the first leg last week was cancelled out by Gallagher’s close-range finish, but the defending champions were able to get through within ninety minutes.

Kylian Mbappe burst into the box in the middle of the second half and was brought down by Clement Lenglet, presenting them with a spot-kick.

But the game went into extra time and penalties with no additional goals as Vinicius Junior’s attempt flew over the bar.

Alvarez’s second Atletico penalty, which he converted, came in handy during the penalty shoot-out. He slipped and shot to get into the net, but a VAR intervention noticed him touching the ball with his standing foot.

Marcos Llorente struck the bar for Atletico after Lucas Vazquez was off target for Real after the penalty was denied.

Over the last 12 seasons, the record 15-time European Cup winners have played Atletico in five Champions League matches and triumphed every time, twice on penalties.
In their first encounter since 2006, Carlo Ancelotti’s team will play Arsenal in the round of eight.

After a 7-1 victory in the Netherlands last week, the Gunners’ qualification for a second consecutive quarterfinal appeared a formality going into the second leg against PSV Eindhoven.

In the return leg at the Emirates Stadium, the teams tied 2-2, giving Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal a 9-3 aggregate lead.
