Javier Hernandez scored a late winner as Real Madrid edged past 10-man Atletico Madrid with a 1-0 win to secure their place in the Champions League semi-finals.
The striker tapped in from close range as the hosts constantly pressed for the all-important winner, after Diego Simeone’s men had Arda Turan sent off for a second yellow card with 13 minutes remaining.
Cristiano Ronaldo was denied by Jan Oblak just before the break, while Hernandez earlier spurned two chances from good positions for Real Madrid, who enjoyed the majority of possession as they had in the first leg.
But the Mexican’s late strike would be enough to give Real their first win over Atletico since last year’s final, and keeps them on course for an unprecedented defence of their crown.
