The Madrid derby in the Champions League needed penalties to decide a winner with Los Blancos advancing to the quarterfinals, though an instance after Julian Alvarez's penalty sent fans into a state of confusion.
The Argentinian striker stepped up to take Atletico Madrid's second penalty of the shootout. He slipped on his follow through, but the ball rifled into the top of the netting to equalize the scoring. Though, as Fede Valverde stepped up to take Real Madrid's third penalty, there was some commotion at the halfway line between players. The referee stopped Valverde from taking his chance as VAR reviewed Alvarez's penalty.
