#1 Marcos Llorente makes a difference
Among several world-class players on display for both sides, it would have been hard to imagine that it was a Real Madrid reject who would turn the tie on its head and prove to be the difference-maker.

Marcos Llorente did not even start the match, only introduced with 32 minutes to go but that did not stop him from making a mark, ending the night with two goals and an assist in extra-time to send his side to the quarterfinals.
Both of his goals were well-taken finishes, belying the fact that the 25-year-old is neither a forward nor a regular starter, while his pristine through-ball to Alvaro Morata for the winner had all the hallmarks of a technically gifted midfielder.
His brace made him the first Atletico Madrid player to score two goals off the bench since Sergio Aguero did so against Chelsea in 2009 and with his performance tonight, Llorente made a solid case to be a more regular fixture for Los Colchoneros.
