League phase Matchday 8
It’s not often that teams leading Real Madrid in the 98th minute send their goalkeeper up for a set piece – but there was nothing normal about this wild night in Lisbon. Yes, Benfica were beating their illustrious opponents 3-2 on Matchday 8, but they were about to be eliminated on goal difference, unless they could scramble something from Fredrik Aursnes’ last-gasp free-kick. Ordered forward by José Mourinho, Anatoliy Trubin planted a perfect header on the delivery to squeeze his team into the knockout phase. “I’ve watched it a thousand times,” Trubin later revealed. “I still can’t fully accept that it actually happened.”
Play-off first leg
As nourishing as a log fire, Hauge delivered a moment to warm the hearts of Bodø/Glimt fans on a chilly February night inside the Arctic Circle. The Norwegian minnows pulled off a miraculous recovery to reach the knockout phase play-offs, and they kept their run going by stunning last season’s runners-up Inter. The scoreline was 1-1 at Aspmyra when Hauge – Bodø, born and bred – hammered a rasping drive high inside Yann Sommer’s near post, helping to secure a 3-1 victory. The former AC Milan winger then struck again at the San Siro as Bodø/Glimt triumphed 2-1 to complete a famous upset.
Round of 16 first leg
Even by the lofty standards of contests between Real Madrid and Manchester City, this was spectacular. Valverde had managed just three goals in 75 Champions League games, but doubled that tally before the half-time whistle of his 76th, giving Los Blancos a commanding lead in their last-16 opener. The Uruguayan midfielder bent the tie to his will with a sensational 23-minute treble – and his third goal was the pick of the lot, controlling Brahim Díaz’s chipped pass over Rúben Dias with a deft mid-air touch that dinked the ball beyond Marc Guéhi and freed him up to volley low into the far corner.
Round of 16 first leg
Twelve seconds. That was all it took for Atlético de Madrid to go from nearly conceding at one end to scoring a work of art at the other. Julián Alvarez had already hit one goal at home to Tottenham Hotspur and his team were leading 4-1 in their round of 16 opener, but his second was a masterpiece of teamwork and technique. First came Jan Oblak’s fine save from a Richarlison header, the loose ball then hooked towards the halfway line, where Antoine Griezmann pulled off a perfect volleyed flick behind. Having sprinted from the edge of his own area, Alvarez took the pass in his stride and surged between a pair of defenders before bearing down on goal and slotting in.
Quarter-final second leg
We all know the drill: if you’re holding in the dying seconds of a topsy-turvy Champions League tie you run the ball to the corner. When Olise picked up possession midway through the Real Madrid half in the fourth minute of added time, with Bayern having just gone 5-4 up on aggregate, that’s exactly the advice team-mate Harry Kane was offering. It fell on deaf ears. Ferland Mendy took his eye off the ball for a millisecond but that’s all Olise needed as he turned on the afterburners. In a flash he was bearing down on the defender before working space to arrow in an unstoppable left-footed shot.
