Vini Junior Scores Again: Real Madrid Advance in Champions League

Real Madrid secured a place in the Champions League quarter-finals after a 2-1 aggregate victory over Benfica on Wednesday.

Vinícius Júnior netted the winner in the 80th minute to seal the 3-1 aggregate win, following Aurélien Tchouaméni's earlier strike. The Spanish giants will face either Sporting Lisbon or Manchester City in the next round.

Real Madrid held on despite the absence of key players like Kylian Mbappé to advance to the last eight of the tournament.
