- Vinicius (70 'fine missed)
Match report
They will be confronted with Arsenal in the last eight, after they have kept their hope alive to win a record-expanding 16th Champions League trophy.
Neither parties could find a winning goal before the end of the extra time after the strike of Conor Gallagher – only 27 seconds in the match – had aggregated the draw after the 2-1 first legs of Real.
That meant that fines were needed to determine the outcome and after the first three were converted, former Manchester City Vooruit Alvarez stepped up to take the second from Atletico.
He slid out as he took it, but the ball ended up in the back of the net. Although it was initially given, the successful Spot-Kick was then excluded by the video assistant referee (VAR), where Alvarez was supposed to have touched the ball twice as he made his effort.
Fede Valverde converted his penalty to really put 3-1 forward and although Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak saved Lucas Vazquez's spot kick to give Atletico Hope briefly, Marcos Llorente hit the bar. Antonio Rudiger then stepped up to convert the punishment to really forward.
