Real Madrid (4) 1 – 3 (3) Juventus – Real Madrid through after stunning finale against Juventus, Ronaldo injury-time penalty wins tie after Buffon was sent off.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s injury-time penalty put holders Real Madrid through to the Champions League semi-finals after holding off a stunning Juventus comeback.
Ronaldo’s coolly-taken 97th-minute penalty into the top corner came after Medhi Benatia brought down Lucas Vazquez in the box.
Juve goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, in his last Champions League appearance, was sent off by English referee Michael Oliver after awarding the spot-kick, for foul and abusive language.
Real, Champions League winners in three of the past four seasons, came into the second leg leading 3-0, helped by Ronaldo’s stunning bicycle kick.
But the Serie A leaders got off to a dream start when Mario Mandzukic headed in from Sami Khedira’s cross after just two minutes and Mandzukic got a second before half-time.
Blaise Matuidi pounced to capitalise on Keylor Navas’ fumble to level the tie on aggregate, before the dramatic ending.

- 90+3′ 0 – 3 Gianluigi Buffon is sent off as Lucas Vazquez is fouled inside the box by Buffon and Michael Oliver awards Real Madrid a penalty! Gianluigi Buffon is sent off, possibly for arguing against the decision. He gets a standing ovation but such a sad way for the game to end for him. Wojciech Szczesny is on, tasked with saving this penalty.
- 90+6′ 1 – 3 [Penalty Goal] Cristiano Ronaldo scores the penalty kick. He’s clinched it! Brilliant penalty. He steps up and slams the ball into the top corner. Keeper had no chance and Cristiano Ronaldo wheels away to celebrate. Shirt off, muscles flexed as he roars at the Real fans. He’s surely got the winner in an extraordinary match.
