An objective down from the main leg and furthermore an objective behind on the evening, it seem to be Los Blancos would crash out of Europe at the last-16 phase. Notwithstanding, Benzema had different thoughts.

It didn't take long for the firecrackers to begin, with the Frenchman meeting Vinicius Junior's cross with a slug header that shot past Edouard Mendy at the front post.
