No “Remontada”, no “miracle in Bernabéu”: defending champion Real Madrid has clearly missed the move into the semi -finals of the Champions League. After the 0: 3 defeat in the first leg at Arsenal, the royal people also lost 1: 2 (0-0) in the second leg against the Londoners. Real failed for the first time since the 2019/20 season. The English international Bukayo Saka, who missed a penalty pitfall in the first half (13th), put the guests in the lead (65th). Vinicius Junior (67th) got the balance for Real, which had to play in the final phase without the stricken superstar Kylian Mbappé. Gabriel Martinelli (90.+3) secured Arsenal the away win. During the royal, the Gunners have to dream more than ever from the first win of the Henkelpott. Most recently, Arsenal, who now meets the French champion Paris Saint -Germain, 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,” emphasized Real Jude Bellingham in the run -up to the second leg: “It is a night that is created for Real Madrid, a night with this part of the world with this part of the world are familiar. ”The royal began on the field with a lot of power, the ball was already in the goal of the guests in the third minute – but Mbappé was offside. Arsenal was not unsettled, looking for the way to the front. After a foul on Mikel Merino, referee François Letexier then pointed to the point after Var use. But Real keeper Thibaut Courtois, which Bernabéu Bernt, kept the arrogant chip of Saka. After the VAR test, this flattering decision was withdrawn, but the leadership goal for Arsenal through Saka countered Vinicius Junior just two minutes later. The big storm run from Real was in the second round, also because Mbappé had to be replaced injured (75th).
