Memphis Depay struck for Atletico Madrid to take their Champions League last-16 tie with Inter Milan to penalties.
Dutch forward Depay came off the bench at the Estadio Metropolitano to rifle Atletico 2-1 ahead on the night with three minutes remaining, levelling the teams at 2-2 on aggregate.
Serie A leaders Inter looked set to reach the quarter-finals when Federico Dimarco put them two ahead over the course of the tie in the 33rd minute.
But Antoine Griezmann poked home moments later to keep Atletico’s hopes alive with his record-extending 176th goal for the club.
And shortly after Depay had smashed an effort off the woodwork the 30-year-old took the tie to an additional 30 minutes with a perfect low drive.
