  • Yesterday at Estadio da Luz, Lisbon, Real Madrid went ahead 1-0 when Vinicius Jr. scored in the 50th minute.
  • This two-legged playoff, whose winner will face Sporting CP or Man City, made Mourinho the first manager to lead seven clubs into Champions League knockout stages, the Benfica's manager.
  • Following a provocative celebration, the referee signalled he had been informed of racial abuse directed at Vinicius Jr., and the game was stopped as Vinicius Jr. refused to continue.
  • After earlier European struggles, Real Madrid has won six of eight matches under the club's recent form, signaling improved momentum for their season.
  • Ahead of kickoff, Benfica placed a photo of goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin celebrating his last-gasp goal, which Mourinho's team sealed three weeks ago at this venue.
