Real Madrid overcame a missed Vinicius Junior penalty in regulation to advance to the quarterfinal round, where they will play Arsenal.

Rudiger’s kick squirmed through the grasp of Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak to win the shoot-out. Julian Alvarez had earlier seen his effort ruled out for a double touch, while Lucas Vazquez’s effort was saved for Real, before Marcos Llorente’s strike crashed off the underside of the bar. That left Rudiger to become Real’s penalty hero.

Atletico Madrid would have lived had Antonio Rüdiger’s penalty been saved but the ball flipped back into goal.Who else but defending champions Real Madrid to prolong the agony of Atletico Madrid in Europe?
