Real Madrid carries a 1-0 lead from the first leg, but the match is overshadowed by allegations that Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni racially abused Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr. during the first game. UEFA has provisionally suspended Prestianni, and Benfica coach Jose Mourinho is also suspended for the second leg.

The winner of the match will advance to the last 16 of the Champions League.
