Real Madrid handled business at the Bernabéu on Wednesday night, securing a 2–1 victory over Benfica in the second leg of the Champions League knockout phase playoffs to book their place in the last 16.
Things got off to a nervy start in the Spanish capital after Rafa Silva opened the scoring in the 14th minute, momentarily pulling the tie level. But the rest of the game was all Los Blancos, with Aurélien Tchouaméni and Vinicius Junior finding the back of the net to seal the aggregate win.
