However, a stunning volley from Madrid substitute Rodrygo sent the game to extra-time, before captain Karim Benzema - who was Madrid's highest rated player with 7/10 - headed home the winner to send Carlo Ancelotti's side through.
Despite a gutsy and respectable performance from the Premier League side, the ratings from the French sports publication ranged from 4-8 among the starting XI.
Despite progressing to the next round of the Champions League, Madrid did lose the second-leg and L'Equipe's ratings took this into account.
German midfielder Toni Kroos was given a 3/10, with fellow midfielders Luka Modric - despite pulling off one of the best assists you'll ever see - and Casemiro receiving a 6/10 and 5/10 respectively. https://twitter.com/FootballJOE/status/1513980961897291779 Defenders Dani Carvajal and Nacho were handed 4/10s, but David Alaba was given a six and Ferland Mendy a 5/10. Former Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois - despite conceding three goals - managed a 6/10. In attack, Vinicius Jr and Fede Valverde could only score 5/10s while striker Benzema, who bagged the winner in extra-time, managed a 7/10. Madrid will now face off against either city rivals Atletico Madrid or Manchester City in the semi-final. Pep Guardiola's side boast a 1-0 lead going into Wednesday night's second leg tie at the Wanda Metropolitano. Related links:Football
