Real Madrid came from behind to defeat Benfica at the Santiago Bernabéu and book their place in the Champions League Round of 16, where they will face either Sporting Lisbon or Manchester City.

The visitors struck first through Rafa Silva in the 14th minute, leveling the tie and briefly silencing the home crowd. However, the response was immediate. Just two minutes later, Aurélien Tchouameni restored parity with a crucial equalizer.

The momentum continued to swing in Madrid’s favor, and in the 80th minute, Vinícius Jr. delivered the decisive blow, sealing both the victory and qualification. Federico Valverde played a starring role, providing the assists for both goals in a standout performance that powered Los Blancos into the next round.
