Real Madrid defeated Benfica at the Bernabéu and secured qualification for the Champions League round of 16, where they will face either Sporting CP or Manchester City. Our team had to come back after Rafa Silva's 0-1, which leveled the tie in the 14th minute. The response was immediate. In the 16th minute, 

Our team regained possession very close to the opponent's area, and in one of those recoveries after a loss, they almost broke the deadlock in the 55th minute following a solo move by Trent, which ended with a shot inside the area that went wide. Benfica responded five minutes later with a shot from Rafa Silva from the edge of the area with the outside of his right foot, which first hit Asencio and then crashed against the crossbar. 

Asencio's injury
As the minutes went by, in the 76th minute, Asencio had to be carried off on a stretcher after a violent fall following an aerial collision with Camavinga in a very unfortunate play. Four minutes later, the scorer of the tie appeared. Once again, the assist came from Valverde, who played the ball into the path of Vini Jr., and the Brazilian finished exquisitely. The number seven was the scorer of the 0-1 in the first leg and tonight scored the 2-1 in the second leg. From there until the end, our team barely suffered and secured qualification for the Champions League round of 16. Either Sporting CP or Manchester City awaits in this Friday's draw.
