Juventus-Real Madrid
It was Cristiano Ronaldo who managed to score and help Real Madrid make it to the Champions League semifinals at the 90th minute of the April 11 match between the Spanish club and Italy's Juventus.
The Italian team scored three goals throughout the game but at the end of the day, Real's Lucas Vazquez earned a soft penalty, prompting anger from Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.
He was finally sent off with a red card for brutal behavior and Ronaldo was quick to seize the opportunity. Despite losing the match 1-3, Real forayed into the next stage of the Champions League with a 4-3 win.
Manchester United-Bavaria
This game, played during the 1998/99 season, is believed to have been a dramatic high point in the history of the Champions League playoffs.
Former German football star Franz Beckenbauer recalled that he left the VIP-box at the 90th minute of the match and went to the football field by elevator. He said that when he came to the field he saw the 1:2 score instead of 1:0, thinking that the scoreboard was broken.
But in fact, it were Manchester United players who got the better of their German rival by scoring two goals in a record period of time and securing the 2-1 win.

Barcelona-Paris Saint-Germain
It was one more dramatic Champions League playoff in the 2016/17 season which saw a brilliant performance by Barcelona's Neymar and Sergi Roberto.
