This tie made history as the first ever Champions League knockout round without a single goal.
Even the spot-kicks were even at five each, so it went to sudden death and Narsingh was the first to miss, hitting the bar for PSV, so Juanfran converted to send Atleti through.

Manchester City were comfortable after winning the first leg 3-1 in Ukraine, but had a rough start on home turf by losing both centre-backs Vincent Kompany and Nicolas Otamendi to injury in the opening 22 minutes.
It was a quiet game with barely any goalmouth action until the hour mark, but then Sergio Aguero flashed a shot across the face of goal and moments later Jesus Navas thumped the woodwork.
Joe Hart was also called into action by Andriy Yarmolenko and Yaya Toure fired straight at Olexandr Shovkovskiy, but it ended goalless.
Manchester City therefore reach the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in their history.
