After scoring the opening goal once again in the second leg of the tie, the Partenopei succumbed to the same 3-1 scoreline at the Stadio San Paolo.
This led to an aggregate defeat of 2-6, which saw Los Merengues advance to the quarter-finals of the competition.

This led to an aggregate defeat of 2-6, which saw Los Merengues advance to the quarter-finals of the competition.
The goal was attributed to Madrid defender Sergio Ramos on the night, in what appeared to be his second goal of the evening.
Taking a deflection off Mertens, it initially appeared as though Ramos had scored an almost identical header the previous one that had levelled the scoring.
This has now been adjudged to have been an own goal, which means the Belgian netted at both ends on the night.
