Breaking: Arsenal knock out Real Madrid from UEFA Champions League, to face PSG in semi-final

Arsenal have advanced to the Champions League semi-final for the third time in club history with a 2-1 victory over 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, but 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 saw 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 now face Paris Saint Germain (PSG) in the semi-final, while Inter Milan battle Barcelona in the last four.
