Arsenal outclass Madrid
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta named an unchanged lineup from the side that secured a 3-0 victory in the first leg.
The Gunners dominated the game, with Bukayo Saka dictating the tempo in midfield. In the first half, Saka had a chance to open the scoring but saw his Panenka-style penalty saved by Thibaut Courtois per Daily Mail.
Saka redeemed himself in the 65th minute, calmly chipping the ball over Courtois to give Arsenal the lead. Just two minutes later, Vinicius Junior took advantage of a defensive error by William Saliba to level the match and sparked hopes of a Real Madrid comeback.
However, in the 93rd minute, Gabriel Martinelli curled in a stunning winner to seal the victory and set up a semi-final clash with Paris Saint-Germain per Arsenal.
