Arsenal overpowers Real Madrid to secure champions League Semifinal Spot

4 weeks ago Alfrede Kankabo

Arsenal delivered a masterclass at the Santiago Bernabéu, defeating Real Madrid 2-1 to advance to the Champions League semifinals. The Gunners silenced the hostile crowd early, with Bukayo Saka missing a Panenka (13’) but later redeeming himself with a superb team-play goal (64’).

Madrid struggled throughout—Mbappé was denied a penalty after a VAR reversal (28’), while Vinícius Jr. capitalized on a Saliba error to equalize (68’).

But Arsenal’s composure prevailed, as Gabriel Martinelli sealed the win in stoppage time (90+3’).

Ancelotti’s side lacked cohesion, with Bellingham anonymous and Rodrygo invisible.

Mbappé’s ankle injury (75’) summed up a frustrating night. Arsenal, disciplined and clinical, now faces PSG, proving their European resurgence is no fluke.
