In a dramatic UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash, Real Madrid emerged victorious over Atletico Madrid in a penalty shootout, securing their place in the quarterfinals. The match, held at the Wanda Metropolitano, ended 1-0 in favor of Atletico Madrid during regular time, leveling the aggregate score at 2-2.
The game took a controversial turn during the penalty shootout when Julian Alvarez's spot-kick was disallowed by VAR. Alvarez slipped while taking the penalty, resulting in a rare "double contact" with the ball. The referee, after consulting VAR, ruled the penalty invalid, citing the regulation that a penalty must be taken with a single touch.
Real Madrid capitalized on the situation, with Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Antonio Rudiger converting their penalties. The shootout concluded with a 4-2 victory for Real Madrid, sending them through to the next stage of the competition.
