Atletico Madrid staged a rousing comeback to book their place in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals with an epic 3-2 penalty shoot-out win over Inter Milan in the last 16 after fighting back from 2-0 down on aggregate.
Having won the first leg of the tie 1-0 at the San Siro, last year's finalists Inter doubled their lead when Federico Dimarco finished off a lovely move for the opener on 33 minutes.
The Italians, led by coach Simone Inzaghi, have been in superb form and are 16 points clear at the top of Serie A as they look to become domestic champions for the 20th time.
