VIDEO: Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez sees penalty disallowed by VAR for double contact in INSANE scenes as Real Madrid eventually progress in unbelievable shootout drama

Alvarez stepped up to take his team's second spot-kick in the shootout after the last-16 tie ended in a 2-2 aggregate draw. The Argentine forward scored but slipped as he hit it and a VAR review revealed that he had inadvertently touched the ball twice, resulting in the goal being disallowed.

Seeing Alvarez's effort ruled out put Madrid 2-1 up in the shootout before Federico Valverde stepped up to increase their advantage. Angel Correa scored to give Atleti a chance and then goalkeeper Jan Oblak saved Lucas Vazquez's penalty to provide a further boost, but Marcos Llorente could only smack the woodwork, allowing Antonio Rudiger to score and send the visitors through.

Carlo Ancelotti's side will now go on to the quarter-finals, where they will face Premier League side Arsenal following their 9-3 aggregate victory against PSV.

The Madrid clubs will soon turn their attention to the weekend's La Liga action. The Santiago Bernabeu side will take on Villarreal, while Diego Simeone's team face a difficult clash against Barcelona.
