Atletico Madrid are out of the Copa del Rey after Girona secured a see-sawing 3-3 second-leg draw at Wanda Metropolitano to reach the quarter-finals on away goals.
Substitute Borja Garcia's shot fired in off Seydou Doumbia in the 88th minute to undo Antoine Griezmann's inspirational rescue act and hand Diego Simeone's men a heart-breaking exit from a tournament they last won in 2013.
But Girona - who earlier overturned Nikola Kalinic's first-half opener thanks to goals from Valery Fernandez and Cristhian Stuani - recovered to incredibly snatch back the ascendancy as a 4-4 aggregate draw saw them through.
Atleti were in pole position to advance following a 1-1 draw seven days earlier and strengthened their cause through Sevilla-linked Kalinic's composed finish following Diego Godin's long ball in the 12th minute.
The striker had a second ruled out for offside just beyond the half-hour mark and Girona's relief turned to joy as, against the run of play, Fernandez equalised, the teenager controlling a defensive header with his chest and volleying brilliantly across Antonio Adan.
Atleti saw Saul Niguez hobble off after half-time and their hopes of escaping the last 16 appeared in tatters by the 59th minute, the unmarked Stuani heading in Aleix Garcia's free-kick.
Santiago Arias soon became the second Atletico player to have the assistant referee deny him a goal but the home fans' mood swung again in the 84th minute - star man Griezmann gathering Thomas Lemar's inventive pass and rifling into the roof of the net from a tight angle.
It was another substitute, though, who had the final say, Doumbia intelligently flicking in Garcia's shot to decide a rollercoaster contest.
