Real Madrid progressed ahead of their city rivals, Atletico de Madrid following Chicharito's 88th minute strike that separated the strong headed Diego Simeone's men from the experienced and expensive Carlo Ancelotti's side.
It was a sweet revenge for the defending champions as they returned the Copa del Rey favour back to their city rivals who ousted them in the quarter finals of the Spanish Cup, despite losing three of their key players to injury just over the weekend, while Luka Modric is ruled out for almost 8 weeks.
The victory still shows that the Diego Simeone's men are strong, energetic and formidable but lack depth unlike the Galacticos, despite losing three of their key men, they still managed to grind out result, putting them into the next round of the European showpiece.
The home team had a larger possession and took 8 shots on target and one of those shot Real to the semi's of the champions league.
Monaco 0 - 0 Juventus
Real Madrid 1 - 0 Atletico Madrid
Barcelona 2 - 0 Paris Saint Germain
FT Bayern Munich 6 - 1 FC Porto
