In the round of 16, Real Madrid hosted Celta. The Ukrainian goalkeeper of the Madrid team Andriy Lunin was started and became one of the key figures before Real opened the scoring in the match.
In the 37th minute, Celta winger Svedberg found himself in a one-on-one with Lunin, but ended up on the ground. The ball was recovered by Lucas Vasquez, who launched a quick counterattack that ended with a precise strike from Mbappé.
Opinions regarding this incident were divided. Some Spanish journalists saw a foul committed by Lunin, but the match referee did not even look at the video.
After the break, Real doubled their lead with a goal from Vinicius.
