Sport newspaper simply went with "Incredible" after Real once again turned around a first-leg deficit following its last-16 win against Paris St. Germain earlier in the competition.

Marca hailed it as the "greatest night in the history of the Bernabeu".

"If PSG was already inexplicable, if Chelsea was already incredible, last night in Chamartin was, simply, the best night of a stadium that has seen this team in all colours and that is a lot to say," read its lead story.

The Barcelona-based Mundo Deportivo described it as "Groundhog Day" while Catalan radio station RAC1 said "this is not football, it's a paranormal phenomenon".

Real will take on Liverpool in a rematch of the 2018 Champions League final at the Stade de France on May 28.
