He did not get chance to make amends in the shootout, but his team-mates spared his blushes, winning … on penalties.
The shootout was not without drama, though, as Julian Alvarez had his converted spot kick disallowed as he touched the ball twice after slipping. Antonio Rudiger was the man who scored the winning penalty after Marcos Llorente hammered his effort onto the crossbar.
With this, Real Madrid Will face Arsenal in the quarter-final.
