Highlights and goals: Real Madrid 1 (1)-(5) 2 Arsenal in UEFA Champions League

Five minutes of added time will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu in a match that now seems to be decided and Arsenal will return to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals 16 years later, this time through Mikel Arteta.

The clock is getting shorter and shorter and it looks like the series is sealed, with Arsenal not really suffering and Real Madrid doing very little in attack. Although with Madrid it's best to wait until the end to give a verdict.

Dangerous free kick on the edge of the box in favor of Real Madrid for a foul on Vinicius. Uruguayan Valverde takes the shot but his shot is saved by the visitors' wall.       

First substitution of the match for Arsenal.

IN:

Positional substitution to give the Gunners a fresh start in attack and look to take the lead for the second time in the match.

Fourth and fifth substitutions of the match, all for Real Madrid.

Luka Modric
Brahim Díaz

OUT:
Raúl Asencio
Kylian Mbappé with physical discomfort

Despite being substituted due to physical discomfort, Mbappé leaves amidst whistles that echoed around the Santiago Bernabéu.

Madrid had a little spark to go up but the attacking play is really poor for Carlo Ancelotti's team. Vini was lucky and found that ball in a bad start between Raya and Saliba that allowed him to equalize the partial score.

First three substitutions of the match and the first three for Real Madrid.

Carlo Ancelotti sends three attacking players looking to open the scoring and get into the match looking for a miracle.

Five minutes of back and forth where Arsenal is now the one who goes on the attack and Madrid in quick counterattacks looking to create dangerous moves in attack, so far without effectiveness. Arsenal, when they get the ball, move it from one side to the other without anxiety.

The first five minutes of the second half and Real Madrid has 92% possession, we repeat, so far in the second half; overall possession is 70% in favor of the home side, who still cannot find a way to create danger in attack.

Real Madrid dominates the match with a ball possession of 66% and have spent almost the entire first half in Arsenal's half of the field, but the team is lacking ideas of play in offensive zone and the English so far do not suffer the match and taking advantage of Madrid's high lines, they seek to create danger in quick counterattacks.

Seven more minutes will be played in this first half, making up for the minutes lost in the review of the penalty kick in favor of Real Madrid that was later disallowed.

So far little and nothing has been seen from the Madrid attacking trident; neither Vini, Mbappé nor Rodrygo have been able to excel.

In 41 minutes of play Real Madrid have not managed to score a single shot at David Raya's goal, although they have had 4 total shots and 2 corner kicks.

On the other hand, Arsenal managed 2 shots on goal out of 4 total and 3 corners. A very even game at the Santiago Bernabeu but Madrid were ineffective in front of goal.

The pace of the game has dropped in part to the long review of the VAR in the penalty play that ended up being annulled for Real Madrid, almost six minutes of play were lost in the review of the play and it shows in the low pace that the game has taken.

Four minutes later, while the VAR was reviewing the play, he calls the referee to go to the monitor and review the play. The referee reverses his announcement and THE PENALTY IS ANNULLED FOR REAL MADRID!

Therefore, the caution for Declan Rice is also disallowed.

UHHHHHHHHH! The score could have been opened by centimeters. A low pass from Jude Bellingham on the left side of the area and Rodrygo doesn't manage to get to the ball as he passes the entire visiting defense.

Very good pace of the match at the start.

A slightly better start to the game for Arsenal, who already missed a penalty kick from Bukayo Saka that could have completely sealed the series, but the Gunners did not back down and continued to look for spaces in the defense to surprise and open the scoring tonight.

COURTOIS SAVED! Bukayo Saka took charge of the shot and shot panenka style over the right post of Thibaut Courtois who there threw himself with his left arm to prevent Arsenal from going up on the scoreboard.

What a bad save by Saka.

Back and forth match in these first minutes of play, Mikel Arteta's Arsenal did not come to defend and goes out looking to extend the overall advantage.

Meanwhile the referee reviews a possible penalty for Arsenal in ten minutes of play, attention!

The ball is already rolling at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in the Spanish capital between Real Madrid and Arsenal in a match that will surely be full of emotions and goals where both teams will be looking for a place in the semifinals of the tournament.
