On 11 April 2018, in the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg match away to Real Madrid, Juventus needed a 3–0 win to force the match to extra time, which was the scoreline until the 97th minute after referee Michael Oliver awarded a 93rd minute, injury time penalty to Real Madrid. Buffon was sent off for dissent after a confrontation with Oliver, as Juventus were eliminated from the Champions League as the resulting penalty kick was converted by Cristiano Ronaldo for a final 4–3 aggregate loss.
