The white club’s Champions League rule has over when they lost to Arsenal 2-1 in the second leg of the quarterfinals, giving them a 5-1 aggregate score.

 There was a worthy winner at the famous Santiago Bernabéu, and that was the English squad. Talks centered on a possible return, the character of this team, and its historical glory.

The match was decided when Gabriel Martinelli outplayed Thibaut Courtois in a thrilling one-on-one encounter at the 90+3 minute mark.  Real Madrid, who are struggling to win La Liga and deal with their current slump in form, will face a crucial test in the Copa del Rey in just two weeks.  The focus now shifts to whether Carlo Ancelotti’s time in charge is coming to an end.

But Arsenal is expected to make it to the Champions League semifinals, where they will face Paris Saint-Germain.

 There was never the expected revival.  David Raya, the goalie, was not even seriously threatened by the white club.  William Saliba made a startling mistake in his concentration, failing to see the Brazilian’s approach, which allowed the ball to find the net with the goalie out of position and resulted in Vinícius Júnior’s goal in the 67th minute.
