Atletico were clinical from the spot as they converted all of their penalties with Juanfran slotting home the winner after Luciano Narsingh hit the crossbar with PSV's eighth attempt. "It was an enormous celebration for the whole stadium. The spectacle you see in the stands was tremendous. We won't ever stop believing, that is for sure."
