Arsenal secured a spot in the Champions League semifinals by defeating Real Madrid 2-1 at the Bernabeu Stadium, completing a 5-1 aggregate victory. Real Madrid, the holders and 15-time winners, failed to overcome a 3-0 deficit from the first leg. Bukayo Saka's goal in the 65th minute sealed the fate for Real Madrid, despite Vinícius Júnior's late effort.
Gabriel Martinelli's stoppage-time goal further highlighted Arsenal's dominance over the two legs. This victory marks Arsenal's first Champions League semifinal appearance since 2009. Arsenal will now face Paris Saint-Germain in the upcoming semifinals, as Real Madrid exits the competition in disappointing fashion under Carlo Ancelotti's management.
