A Madrid 2 – 1 Inter
Lautaro Martinez missed the crucial penalty for Inter Milan as Atletico Madrid claimed a shootout victory to move into the Champions League quarter-finals.
Inter held a 1-0 lead from the first leg and doubled that advantage when Federico Dimarco put them ahead after half an hour – but Atleti instantly responded through Antoine Griezmann’s leveller on the night two minutes later.
With the Spanish side still needing a goal to stay in the competition, they had to wait until 87 minutes as Memphis Depay scored with a slick finish to send the Wanda Metropolitano into bedlam.
With the scores level, both teams missed chances in an eventful extra-time period but could not be separated – so penalties ensued. Alexis Sanchez’s miss was immediately cancelled out by Saul Niguez’s failed effort from 12 yards – before Davy Klaassen missed straight afterwards to hand the shootout advantage to Atleti.
With Martinez needing to score to keep his side in the contest, the Inter captain blazed over – seeing his side’s chances of progression go in the process.
