Trailing 1-0 on the night and 5-3 on aggregate heading into the 90th minute, Real Madrid miraculously scored two goals in quick succession through Rodrygo to force extra time.
Karim Benzema Seals the Win
In extra time, Karim Benzema took center stage, expertly converting a penalty in the 95th minute to give Real Madrid a stunning 3-1 victory on the night and a 6-5 aggregate triumph.
