UCL: Lunin wins penalty shootout and takes Madrid to the semi-finals
The last ticket to the semi-finals of the Champions League was won by the most titled club of this tournament - Real Madrid. The match between the Spanish Club and Manchester City lasted 90 minutes of regular time and 30 minutes of extra time, however this was not enough to determine the strongest.
The penalty shootout was Andriy Lunin's finest hour, although it didn't start in the best way for Madrid - Modric couldn't beat Ederson with his first shot. But then Lunin won the duel against Bernardo Silva and stopped Kovacic’s shot to take Real Madrid to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
