Arsenal have advanced to the Champions League semi-final for the third time in the club’s history with a 2-1 victory against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, winning 5-1 on aggregate.
Having won the first leg 3-0, Arsenal increased their advantage in the 65th minute with a lovely chipped goal from Bukayo Saka. Madrid cancelled that strike just two minutes later as Vinicius Junior caught William Saliba napping.
A goal in second-half stoppage time from Gabriel Martinelli put the result beyond any doubt. In a frenetic first half, Saka had seen a Panenka penalty saved by Thibaut Courtois, while VAR intervened at the other end to deny Real Madrid a spot kick of their own.
Arsenal will face Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final while Barcelona and Inter will meet in the other last-four tie.
