The Spaniards start furiously – but despair of a well -standing opponent. While Arsenal cheers, it is real.
Arsenal FC has confidently shot against Real Madrid into the semi -finals of the Champions League. The Londoners enjoyed the better starting point after the 3-0 victory from the first leg-and put the lid on Wednesday with a 2: 1 (0: 0). The competition ends prematurely for defending champion Real Madrid.
Arsenals Bukayo Saka in the first half after a penalty, only gave the lead in the meantime after a penalty (13th minute) (65th). Shortly afterwards, Vinícius Júnior scored the only goal for the “royal” (67th). Gabriel Martinelli set the 2-1 final point in added time (90. +3).
While the Spaniards have to pack the suitcases, the “Gunners” now dream more than ever from the first win of the Henkelpott. Most recently, Arsenal, who now meets the French champion Paris Saint-Germain, had reached the semi-finals 16 years ago.
“Remontada – I heard it about a million times this week, I saw a million videos on the Internet,” Real’s Jew Bellingham emphasized in the run -up to the second leg: “It is a night that is created for Real Madrid, a night with which the people in this part of the world are familiar with.”
The Madrilenes then started with a lot of energy on the field, and the ball was already in the gate of the guests in the third minute – but Kylian Mbappé had been offside. Arsenal was not unsettled, searched for the way ahead. After a foul on Mikel Merino, referee François Letexier then pointed to the point after using the video evidence (VAR). But Saka’s arrogant chip held real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, which Bernabéu deserted.
A little later, Letexier then gave a penalty for Real, Declan Rice, Arsenal’s free kick hero from the first leg, Mbappé had brought down. After the Var test, this flattering decision was withdrawn.
Vinícius Jr. countered the lead goal for Arsenal by Saka just two minutes later. The big storm run from Real was in the second round, also because Mbappé had to be replaced injured (75th).
