Arsenal Crush Real Madrid’s Comeback Dreams, Reach First Semifinal in 16 Years

You couldn’t script it better for Arsenal fans. After years of heartbreak in Europe, the Gunners are back in the big time.

A strong 2-1 win at the Bernabéu sealed a 5-1 aggregate triumph over Real Madrid — and with it, a place in the Champions League semifinals for the first time since 2009.

Bukayo Saka broke the deadlock midway through the second half, practically ending Madrid’s hopes on the spot. Vinícius Jr. gave the home fans a brief flicker of hope, but Gabriel Martinelli’s late strike buried it for good.

Next up? A showdown with Paris Saint-Germain.

Inter Survive Bayern Scare in 2-2 Draw, Move on to Face Barça

Over in Milan, Inter had to dig deep. Bayern didn’t make it easy, but the Italian side held on for a chaotic 2-2 draw at the San Siro, which was enough to see them through on a 4-3 aggregate.

Harry Kane struck first after the break, but Inter answered quickly through Lautaro Martinez. Pavard’s header made it 2-1. And even when Eric Dier pulled one back for Bayern, Inter’s backline stood tall through wave after wave of late pressure.

They’re now set to take on Barcelona in what’s shaping up to be a thrilling semifinal.
