Vinicius Jr scored what proved to be the decisive goal against RB Leipzig but the Brazilian was extremely lucky to still be on the pitch when he did so.<br /><br />Vinicius was involved in an altercation with Leipzig's Willi Orban shortly after half-time as he took exception to his reaction to a heavy challenge.<br /><br />The winger rounded up to Orban before shoving him in the throat with both hands.<br /><br />Orban went down and it was a nervy moment for Madrid fans as the referee approached the Madrid man but he was only shown a yellow card.<br /><br />The tension rose in the Bernabeu as play continued to be halted for a VAR review but the on-field decision was somewhat surprisingly upheld. <br /><br /><br />The Leipzig players were raging at the decision and they must have been even more furious after watching Vinicius double his side's lead in the last-16 tie with a brilliant finish. <br /><br />The 23-year-old was slid in by Jude Bellingham on the break and found the top corner with a first-time strike from just inside the area.<br /><br />Leipzig wasn't done yet and it was the man that Vinicius shoved who got them back into the game, Orban finding the net just three minutes later. <br /><br />However, Los Blancos were able to see out the match and complete their passage to the last eight.
