Real Madrid edged past city rivals Atletico Madrid in a dramatic penalty shootout to secure their place in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Los Blancos will now face Arsenal in the last eight as they continue their pursuit of a record-extending 16th Champions League title.
The match remained deadlocked through extra time after Conor Gallagher’s goal—just 27 seconds into the game—canceled out Real’s 2-1 first-leg advantage, setting up a tense shootout.
Drama unfolded when Atletico’s Julian Alvarez stepped up for his penalty. The former Manchester City forward slipped as he struck the ball, which still found the back of the net. However, after a VAR review, the goal was disallowed as Alvarez was ruled to have made two contacts with the ball.
With Real leading 3-1 after Fede Valverde converted his penalty, Atletico’s hopes were briefly revived when Jan Oblak saved Lucas Vazquez’s effort. But Marcos Llorente’s miss off the crossbar proved costly, and Antonio Rudiger calmly slotted home the decisive spot-kick, sealing Real’s 4-2 shootout victory.
