Diego Simeone's men could not break through in two hours, but Narsingh's missed spot-kick finally allowed the host to progress following an epic battle

Atletico Madrid failed to break through a stubborn PSV backline, but finally booked its place in the Champions League quarterfinals via a penalty shootout.

Having taken a 0-0 draw from the first leg in Eindhoven, Simeone's men were on the front foot throughout the return match but could not hit the net in 120 minutes of football at the Vicente Calderon.

The game went down to penalties, and after 14 successful kicks Luciano Narsingh crashed against the bar to allow Juanfran to net the decisive strike.
