Real Madrid have been handed a rematch with Jose Mourinho’s Benfica in the Champions League knockout playoff round, while holders Paris Saint-Germain will take on fellow French side AS Monaco.
Madrid and Benfica’s fate in the playoffs were sealed after a remarkable final game of the league phase, which featured a last-minute header from goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin. That goal clinched Benfica’s spot in the 16-team playoffs, while defeat dropped Madrid out of the top-eight automatic qualifying places.
The two-legged matches will take place on Feb. 17-18 and Feb 24-25.
