Vinícius Júnior Scores Again as Real Madrid Advance in Champions League

Real Madrid advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals with a 2-1 aggregate win over Benfica, thanks to a late goal from Vinícius Júnior.

Real Madrid secured their spot in the last eight on Wednesday night despite being without Kylian Mbappé. Aurélien Tchouaméni equalized early in the second half after Rafa put Benfica ahead, but Vinícius Júnior scored the winner in the 80th minute to seal a 3-1 aggregate victory.

Los Blancos now await the winner of the tie between Sporting Lisbon and Manchester City.
