The last three UCL two-legged ties to be determined via a penalty shootout #2

2015/16 - Atletico Madrid Eliminate PSV Eindhoven in the Round of 16

When Atletico Madrid faced off against PSV Eindhoven in the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League, the match turned out to be one of its most nervy round of 16 encounters ever. After reaching the final two years prior, the Spanish side headed into the tournament as an outsider for victory. After both legs finished goalless, the tie was to be decided by penalties.

The shootout was a lengthy affair, extending beyond the usual five penalties per side due to the remarkable accuracy both teams showed from the spot. Ultimately, it was Los Rojiblancos who held their nerve, emerging victorious 8-7 after PSV's Luciano Narsingh sent his shot crashing against the crossbar.

Atleti would progress to the final once again after defeating both Barcelona and Bayern Munich. In the final, the penalty shootout wasn't their friend against Real Madrid.
