#4 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals Real Madrid vs Monaco 2004
First Leg – Real Madrid 4-2 Monaco
Real Madrid, managed by Carlos Queiróz, and already 9-time European champions hosted Monaco under the floodlights at the Santiago Bernabeu. The visitors were shocked early on by a goal from Monaco defender Sébastien Squillaci (remember him, Arsenal fans?), but the galacticos of Real Madrid eventually stepped up their act.
Goals from Iván Helguera, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and Luis Figo swung the tide towards the La Liga side, only for Fernando Morientes (who was on loan from Real Madrid) to give the visitors another lifeline with a vital away goal.
Second Leg – Monaco 3-1 Real Madrid
Monaco did the unthinkable and knocked out the Galacticos of Real Madrid. A first half goal by Raul had further solidified Real’s grip on the tie. But a goal from Ludovic Giuly, in first half stoppage time, gave the French side hope.
The next blow was dealt by one of their own as Morientes’ header gave Monaco the lead. Giuly scored his second of the campaign with a cheeky flicked finish past Iker Casillas to send the home fans into delirium, and his through on away goals.
