Disallowed spotkick sees Madrid advance ahead of crosstown rival

Real Madrid fans and players celebrated their hard-fought win against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, earning a quarterfinal berth in the Champions League, but manager Carlo Ancelotti was more relieved than rapturous at what he said was a subpar performance.

Real secured the victory by winning a penalty shootout 4-2, after the tie ended 2-2 on aggregate, as the defending champion's bid for a record-extending 16th European Cup continues.

Ancelotti was disappointed that Real conceded a goal inside the first minute, which leveled the tie after Real had secured a 2-1 first-leg advantage at home last week.
