00:02to respond to that defeat at the weekend and it wasn't just the loss it was also the performance
00:08i don't think was was good enough and i just feel this benfica side there's one other change to
00:13madrid's team from the first leg raul asensio is back from suspension
00:17richard rios will certainly play in a more holding midfield role alongside
00:26so madrid get the game underway first touch of the ball went to opportunities
00:34might be one coming benfica's way now
00:38shelter up trying to deliver he's kept it in and then he hits the side netting
00:46saying that tonight he wants his team to present a great image do things right
00:51anything else doesn't concern him flying into the side netting the way it did
00:58flicked across and courtois makes the gather look really easy
01:02looked a dangerous corner at first yeah he's whipped him with some pace wasn't it flicked on at that
01:07near post but that is courtois he's just so commanding makes big saves he did that last week
01:14he had to in the first half in particular didn't he
01:25miss cedric
01:26this is his junior it's taken from him by
01:33pav lidis mentioned ada gula's 100th game for real madrid thomas Araujo and vangelis
01:40Pavlidis playing for Benfica for the 100th time tonight as well.
01:47Schilderup, Rafa Silva gets past one, toe-poke attempt straight at Courtois.
01:54Rafa Silva...
02:03Aushness finds Dedic.
02:07Richard Rios wants it, he's playing quite high up the field,
02:10and it's a lovely layoff for Pavlidis.
02:12Pavlidis across, and Courtois makes the save first time but not second.
02:18Rafa Silva is in the right place for Benfica,
02:21and they've levelled the tie.
02:27What a ball it was from Richard Rios.
02:31Pavlidis kept his head.
02:34Courtois, in the first instance, prevented the own goal.
02:37He couldn't stop it.
02:39Can't help but wonder just where...
02:40Oh, let's just pause for that thought,
02:42with Otamendi giving the ball away cheaply.
02:45Schuermeni.
02:48Arda Gouler...
02:50Pulled back for Schuermeni!
02:54Magnificent!
03:03His first goal of the season.
03:06His first ever goal in the Champions League.
03:09And it's a really, really important one for Real Madrid.
03:18Valverde.
03:19Valverde.
03:20Camavinga.
03:21He's having a think about it!
03:24Straight at Trubin.
03:26Seen the sight of goal and...
03:28Yeah, straight at Trubin, you'd expect him to see.
03:32Magic happens.
03:39Deadage.
03:41Not the right amount of cushion.
03:45Camavinga.
03:47Pavlidis working back.
03:49Vinicius Junior holds him off and sets off.
03:53Vinicius Junior has a go,
03:54trying to catch Trubin out with the sneaky shot.
04:00If he could have beaten him again,
04:01Benfica were in trouble.
04:02He's going to have another go.
04:04Lifting it for Valverde!
04:06And Gonzalo Garcia has a go!
04:09It's a lovely little ball in from Vinicius Junior.
04:11He does well initially to beat the defender,
04:13but then he gets himself into a good area
04:15to just deliver the cross there.
04:16There's no foul there.
04:19Goalkeeper hasn't got it in his hand.
04:21It's difficult to see, isn't it,
04:22with the...
04:23as we were looking at it.
04:29And it's been disallowed.
04:33Yeah, missing half a dozen tonight.
04:39Sheldorup.
04:41Busy as ever.
04:43Making decent progress.
04:44What a good shot and a smart save.
04:47It's Courtois.
04:49You've got far less chance.
04:51Oh, it's an outstanding seat.
04:52To do it for the first half at the Bernabeu.
04:55Well, it's as we were at the end of the first leg, really,
04:57with just one goal separating the teams.
05:01An action-packed first half,
05:02three minutes really,
05:03where it really all sparked into life.
05:06Rafa Silva nipping in to give...
05:12Benfica, get the second half started, and they'll want to start it again.
05:21In from Alexander-Arnold, doesn't reach Rudiger, just goes over the top.
05:27Raul Asensio.
05:28Lovely delivery from Trent Alexander-Arnold.
05:30Out swinging.
05:32If Asensio doesn't get it, Rudiger's there.
05:34He gets up well, but he just seems to connect as he's coming down.
05:36Benfica try and scramble clear, but there's no room for manoeuvre there.
05:40Here's Trent Alexander-Arnold, who cuts back in and goes back out,
05:44and only just misses by a whisker.
05:46He worked out brilliantly.
05:48Oh, he did.
05:49It's really good play from Real Madrid.
05:50Benfica just can't clear their lines,
05:52and he's started his second half a lot higher.
05:55Trent Alexander-Arnold, he's staying wide on that right-hand side,
05:59just gets himself into the penalty area, twists and turns,
06:01gets himself onto that right foot.
06:03You just think it's going to nestle in that far corner.
06:10Vinicius Junior, dispossessed.
06:13Might be a chance now, it's Rafa Silva!
06:17Clip something, top of bar, glove of Courtois, maybe a bit of both.
06:21It's a brilliant effort, Vinicius Junior just getting caught in possession.
06:24Win the ball back so well, and then when it comes to Silva,
06:27Pavlides obviously picks him out outside of the boot.
06:30Maybe takes a slight nick, doesn't it?
06:32Slight deflection.
06:33That's why it's a corner.
06:35Yeah, it does.
06:36It's off Raul Asensio.
06:37I think Benfica have played well in this second half,
06:40and like you say, I think they've stopped it at source,
06:42they've stopped it going to him as much as it was maybe in that first half.
06:48Now they have to find that extra bit of attacking gear,
06:51and guard against this.
06:52It's Vinicius Junior!
06:54And he scored!
06:57He was always going to tonight, wasn't he?
07:03This time the celebrations are all about the smiles,
07:08because that goal has put Madrid within touching distance of their regular place in the last 16,
07:17and who knows how far beyond that.
07:22That is how to finish it off.
07:25He's an absolute class actor, isn't he, Guy?
07:28We actually said in this second half he's probably not been as lively as what he was in the first
07:33half.
07:33We've been struggling to think of how they were going to get the one.
07:41All or nothing it's got to be for the Lisbon Giants now.
07:46Here's Dahl, Schilder up, gets the cross in!
07:51Oh, brilliant attempt!
07:53That deserved a goal!
07:56Oh, this is superb, isn't it?
07:58Initially the ball in from Schilder up the outside of the boot,
08:00but then just the way that he...
08:03it doesn't have to be.
08:06Because that is it.
08:08And Real Madrid had a one goal lead from the first leg a week ago.
08:13And they finished tonight.
