Real Madrid Says Goodbye to the Champions League. The white team couldn't overturn the 3-0 from the first leg and fell at Santiago Bernabéu against an Arsenal that knew how to suffer and strike at key moments.

Vinícius Equalized After a Mistake by Saliba, but There Was No Miracle in Chamartín. Arsenal returns to a European semifinal.
Frenetic Start at Bernabéu
Right from the start, Madrid wanted to apply pressure. Mbappé Scored in the 3rd Minute After a Cross from Vinícius, but the Goal Was Disallowed for Offside. In the next play, Alaba received a yellow card for a late tackle on Saka.

Arsenal Didn't Back Down. Saka Warned with a Cross Shot in the 5th Minute. Courtois Made a Stunning Save in the 7th Minute to Stop Another Shot from the Englishman.
The Penalty That Could Have Changed Everything
In the 9th Minute, Referee François Letexier Went to the Monitor to Review a Possible Penalty for a Hold by Asensio on Mikel Merino. He Confirmed the Penalty and Booked the Balearic. Saka Took It Panenka Style... but Courtois Saved It! Bernabéu Roared Like on Great Nights.
Rodrygo Almost Finished a Pass from Bellingham in the 19th Minute. Vinícius Fell in the Area and Asked for a Penalty Shortly After. In the 22nd Minute, the Referee Awarded a Penalty on Mbappé, but After a Long VAR Review, He Overturned His Decision. The Stadium Was Growing Impatient.
Mbappé Tried His Luck from Afar (30th Minute) and Timber Responded with a High Shot in the 34th Minute. Rüdiger Almost Scored in the 41st Minute, and in the 43rd Minute, Kiwior Saved a Goal on the Line from Rodrygo's Olympic Attempt. At Halftime, the Score Remained 0-0, and Madrid Needed Three More Goals to Force Extra Time.
Heart-Stopping Second Half
Mikel Merino Shot High in the 50th Minute and Mbappé Responded with a Missed Header After a Corner in the 54th Minute. Vinícius Had a Good Chance in the 55th Minute, but Raya Blocked It Easily.
In the 57th Minute, Rodrygo Almost Scored Another Olympic Goal, but Raya Cleared It off the Line. Bernabéu Still Believed. Ancelotti Made Substitutions: Endrick, Ceballos, and Fran García Came On in the 60th Minute.
Blows, Reactions, and Broken Hopes

But Madrid Reacted Immediately. Vinícius Stole from Saliba After a Gross Error and Scored the Equalizer into an Empty Net in the 67th Minute. The Brazilian Surpassed Ronaldo Nazario as the Top Brazilian Scorer in the Club's History with 105 Goals.
Vinícius Tried Again, but Thomas Cut Off His Advance. Mbappé Was Injured After a Collision with Rice and Had to Be Replaced by Brahim in the 74th Minute. Another Setback for Madrid.

Endrick Almost Scored the 2-1 in the 91st Minute, but His Left-Footed Shot Went Very Close to the Post. Brahim Also Tried His Luck Before. In the 93rd Minute, the Final Blow Came: Arsenal's Counterattack and Martinelli Finished Perfectly Against Courtois to Seal the Tie. 1-2.
Arsenal to the Semifinals. Madrid Out.
Arsenal Eliminates Real Madrid in the Champions League Quarterfinals with a 5-1 Aggregate. Rice's Free-Kick Goals and Mikel Merino's Goal in the First Leg Were Too Much. At Bernabéu, the Whites Fought, but It Wasn't Enough.
