Atletico had taken the lead in the night and the draw on aggregated after just 27 seconds of the second stage thanks to the goal of Conor Gallagher, who established three records with one swing of his right foot.
Rodrgo de Paul's center from the right was flown by Giuliano Simeone, and Gallagher came out to steer the ball along Thibaut Courtois from close by and to send the Wanda Metropolitano wild.
Gallagher's goal was the fastest that was ever scored by an Englishman in the Champions League, while it was also the fastest Champions League goal in Atletico, as well as the first of the English international competition.
On the other hand, Vinicius JR appealed to a penalty when he felt that Simeone had treated in the box, but there would be a penalty for the Brazilian with 20 minutes of normal time.
Jude Bellingham Kylian Mbappe had seen a quick Real Madrid movement feeding, and the Frenchman cut into two Atletico players before he was felled by his fellow countryman Clement Lenglet.
