Dortmund got through
Aston Villa got through
Arsenal got through

Now we're just waiting for extra time in Atletico Vs Real. As I mentioned yesterday, I think betting on Atletico was a good idea, they played really well today and created more chances than Real. I don't know what the outcome will be, but Atletico, in my opinion, is more deserving of advancing to the quarter-final.

Dortmund got through

It is quite predictable. All the favorite teams won the matches.
Well, we have 2 EPL teams. These teams can meet in semifinal if they can win in the next round.

Now we're just waiting for extra time in Atletico Vs Real. As I mentioned yesterday, I think betting on Atletico was a good idea, they played really well today and created more chances than Real. I don't know what the outcome will be, but Atletico, in my opinion, is more deserving of advancing to the quarter-final.

Even if Atletico Madrid dominated the match, Real Madrid still has a chance to win. I'm sure Real Madrid has a better mentality when it is in extension time. Moreover if there will be a penalty shoutout, I prefer Real Madrid to win it. Courtois is best when it is penalty shoutout.

but Atletico, in my opinion, is more deserving of advancing to the quarter-final.

I would like them to make qualification and for Real Madrid to go home. they should also have a chance to win the champions League representing Spain together with Barcelona because it has always been Real Madrid and Barcelona through to the last stages of the champions League for a couple of seasons coming.

Atletico have invested enough and are also deserving of it.

[UNIVERSE]

Penalty result: Atletico Madrid 2-4 Real Madrid.

The match has finished. Real Madrid won in the penalty shoutout. As I said, Courtois is  best when it is penalty shoutout. 

It is interesting to see the next round because Real Madrid will face Arsenal. It will be a big match because Arsenal is also very strong. Again, Real Madrid will face a tough opponent.

Liverpool vs PSG is the strongest and best game this time. The competition is very tight, very tight. With an aggregate of 1 - 0 in the first leg, in this second leg PSG was the one who could score 1 goal in the early minute. And it lasted. and now we are waiting for the results first, because the time is quite long.

Both teams are strong, it is not surprised if we have a tight match. With the aggregate 1-1, they must have a penalty kick round. Unfortunately, Liverpool isn't strong enough in penalty kick, 2 of their players failed. PSG won against Liverpool, PSG goes to the next round. Well, say good bye for Liverpool fans. Liverpool need to focus on domestic competition, England has many local competitions. 

Yes, for penalties, PSG is much more prepared, and it seems they are aiming for this at least. They have a very strong goalkeeper, and this makes Liverpool's executioners frustrated.

and the crazier thing is, Atltico Madrid was able to excel over Real Madrid since the first few seconds. So yes, penalty shootouts. this is very exciting, really.

and in the end, the result is a victory by Real Madrid with a penalty kick the result is 2 - 4.
Congratulations.

What a match for both team, the match ended both teams really performed very good but Real Madrid has A lot  of possession than the Atl Madrid but both team really played perfectly. Real Madrid has won the match on penalties and I guess they won’t go home, they are on the quarterfinals now I hope they hit semi finals and finals soon. Hala Madrid to the top. We will be waiting for Real Madrid next match against Arsenal we hope for the best for Madrid.

Real Madrid as usual always find a way to win in the UCL, when all the chips are down and they're getting outplayed, you just can never rule out this football club, no wonder they're the most successful team in the competition.

Not to take away anything from either team's effort tonight, Yes, Atletico Madrid did play their hearts out, and would have been deserving winners too if they had won the match.

The penalty disallowed from Julian Alvarez is a huge controversial one, even after the replays I still couldn't see the infringement from him, perhaps there will some angles of videos that would show exactly what the VAR ruling was all about because neither the referee nor opposing the keeper saw it, and they were in really close proximity to the play.

I also strongly rooted for Atletico Madrid to qualify ahead of Real Madrid and they so deserved it if not for some kind of inconsistency in the officiating of the match. Having ATM advanced would have brought a new vibe in the next round of competition. We all know the Real Madrid way of stealing glory. That is what will be happening from henceforth. Simeone and his guys worked hard and I think they deserved the next round but sometimes football is very much unfair.

Everyone played very well in that match. Atletico Madrid have also shown their maximum performance and the result is that they still cannot progress further in the UCL this season. And even though there were several things that were quite controversial in the match, whatever it was, we also have to appreciate Real Madrid, who deserved to win because they were not only superior in terms of the quality of their game, but mentally we could see that the Real Madrid players were also superior. because it is not easy to take a penalty shootout at home to your opponent but Real Madrid still managed to do it. And great appreciation also for Atletico Madrid because they have played very well. And actually, Real Madrid were quite often overwhelmed in this match by the attacks made by the Atletico Madrid squad. Unfortunately, only 1 attack managed to score a goal for Atletico Madrid. Now Real Madrid also has a tough opponent in the quarter-finals. And of course the quarter-final match will be more difficult to predict.

There was no rigging. Microchips are installed on the ball.
The tech inside the ball is the one that made VAR go back and view it because it alerted to having been touched by two people, and that's why they had to review it. The semi-automatic offside also works with the sensors inside the ball. UEFA tech is top.

BTW. Since 2014, Real Madrid has eliminated Atletico Madrid in the Champions League in two finals (2014, 2016) and one round of 16 this season (2024-25)

Both teams showed character in the game I have to particularly praise ATM for the kind of fight that they put up against madrid because watching the game I was super impressed by the way ATM held madrid to a ransom and played with Madrid man to man this kind of performance is very rare especially when teams play against madrid. I will say that Madrid was only lucky because when it comes to penalties shots out it's entirely a lucky affair and so Madrid get it over ATM but that doesn't mean that ATM was bad in the game ATM has really improved this season because this was a team that finds it difficult to even get a win at the start of the season ATM has to shift their attention to the laliga title race because with the performance that I see them against Madrid yesterday they are a threat to the laliga title race this season

But this VAR decision caused a lot of anger for Atletico Madrid fans because they said it was unfair because it was not intentional. On the other hand, we understand that VAR technology is now detailed.
But he said he read in the X news this rule will be discussed again by them because it creates new conflicts.

Rules is rules and there is nobody that can change anything about it. Alvarez admitted to have touch the ball twice, Atletico Madrid that are ranting didn't bother to file a complaint but were happy but it's some fans that are angry. They must have really hated Real Madrid, they are one of the best team with high Champions League in history.

I'm sure  that Fifa is going to look into it and a conclusion about the revise will come or not. I just want people should know that when something is a rule, don't fail for it and that's why Alvarez never complained but some Barcelona fans are really angry because it's their nightmare.

Yes, as discussed, they will have a meeting about this.
Certainly many do not accept because Atletico Madrid itself has sent a letter to EUFA about this decision but however this is already legal and will not be repeated again.
What Atletico Madrid fans feel now may be deep disappointment.

I don't see any unfair play in what happened to Alvarez in the penalty shootout. A player taking the penalty should not use his two legs to touch the ball, because it's against penalty rules. Just one touch which should be a shot. Alvarez touched the ball twice which was why his PK was ruled out. Alvarez should learn how to play penalties in a critical match like that of yesterday.
