Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid in a Champions League penalty shootout — again — to keep its title defense alive Wednesday and advance to the quarterfinals.

The first was arguably the pick of the bunch. Dortmund attacker Julian Brandt rose highest at the near post to direct Julian Ryerson’s cross on target, with his glancing header requiring a reaction stop from Chevalier, who could not push the ball out of harm’s way.

Real Madrid beat city rivals Atletico 4-2 on penalties to reach the Champions League quarter-finals following an enthralling last-16 tie which ended 2-2 after extra time in a raucous atmosphere at Metropolitano on Wednesday.
