The Canada international was sent down the left wing and took on Antonio Rudiger, cutting inside against the defender and then lashing it towards goal with his weaker right foot.

Shortly after his goal, Madrid managed to pull level when the ball was knocked past Manuel Neuer, but the effort was ruled out after a VAR review showed that Nacho had pushed Joshua Kimmich to the ground. Madrid eventually got one that counted, though, when Vinicius Junior's shot was kept out by Manuel Neuer and substitute Joselu nipped in to fire in from close range and make it 3-3 on aggregate.
