Inter Milan
Inter midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu, speaking to Sky Italia: "It was a beautiful evening, certainly with a lot of suffering, especially in the final minutes. We were already prepared to suffer, we knew that Bayern would put us in difficulty. After their first goal, we reacted well. After going 2-1 up, we were forced to defend but we kept believing in ourselves."

Arsenal were amazing, but Tuchel really needs to build the England team around Saka, Rice, MLS and even Nwaneri. They have been outstanding!

Theo Walcott
Former Arsenal forward on MOTD: UEFA Champions League
Real were a bit indifferent at times tonight but a lot of that was down to Arsenal and the numbers they had getting back whenever they lost the ball - their work-rate was incredible.
Look at the amount of running Gabriel Martinelli did to help out his full-back, Myles Lewis-Skelly right until the end of the game. And whenever Vinicius Junior got the ball there was always two or three people on him, minimum. He had no options.
Then for Martinelli to score the goal he did at the end of the game, on the breakaway, demonstrates the fitness levels and the mentality of this Arsenal team.
He could easily have gone to the corner flag, slowed play down and not even played the ball - but Arsenal wanted to win. Mikel Arteta said before the game they wanted to win, and Arsenal played like that was the case.

This Real Madrid team is not at the level that these supporters expect. That's why I wouldn't be surprised if there were some changes at some point.
You can say that's because Arsenal are well drilled. I thought physically there was a gulf between the two teams.
Arsenal were never really threatened and they looked the likelier to score themselves.

Former Arsenal forward on MOTD: UEFA Champions League
Arsenal and Paris St-Germain are definitely the two best teams in this season’s Champions League, and the semi-final is going to be a completely different story to when Mikel Arteta’s side beat them 2-0 at the Emirates in October.
PSG hadn’t really clicked then, but they have now. Arsenal will be ready for them, but I think they might miss Thomas Party, who is suspended after his yellow card tonight.
He was so important at the Bernabeu, not just with the way he was getting back into the back-line and to help out with the amount of crosses he was dealing with tonight.
Partey was also helping Arsenal to slow the ball down and to control the midfield. The PSG game is all going to be about the midfield for me and Declan Rice is now probably going to play a game with someone who he is less familiar with.
Mikel Merino can drop in there, but that might affect the forward line more because of where he has been playing recently.
This is what Mikel Arteta will be thinking about now, and he might tinker with a few things against Ipswich and Crystal Palace, to try things out before the semi-final.

"We played against a team with the biggest history. It has been an inspiration for all of us on this competition.
"To be able to win the tie in the manner we have done - I think we have to be very proud of ourselves.
"It is very difficult. After two-to-three minutes you realise anything can happen in this stadium.
"Fortunately, a lot of things went for us. Overall, we did what we had to do to win the game.
"The history we have in this competition is so short. The third time in our history of what we have just done and we have to build on that.
"All this experience is going to help us, for sure."
"We had full belief that we could beat this team and the players did it."
On PSG: "I watched the game last night and it was a crazy game.
"I know the manager [Luis Enrique] really well, but let's enjoy tonight.
"They're a different team now and they're on an incredible run at the moment."
On Declan Rice: "Tonight, he was immense. He turned the game around. He was immense today. He made a difference."

What a statement result and performance by Arsenal.
Defensively, to win the Champions League, you need to be solid at the back and they were, other than the mistake they made for Real’s goal.
They’ve been improving away from home a lot recently, particularly in the Champions League where they have not been conceding many, but to go to the Bernabeu and get a result like that shows how far they have come.

That's going to be some game. Both teams, the physicality and the level that they've got at the moment.
It's sad for Thomas Partey to pick up that silly yellow card five minutes before the end of the game. For him to miss the first leg is a real disappointment for him.

Image source, Getty ImagesArsenal’s confidence was there before this win - it was there from the 3-0 win in the first leg. Now, though, after beating Real again at the Bernabeu with this performance, I think everyone will take notice, right across Europe.
What a tie their semi-final will be with Paris St-Germain. It is such a hard tie to call, because both teams are probably consistently playing at the highest level they have done in the Champions League for many years.
Their belief is part of that, and that aura I spoke about on 5 Live before the game that Mikel Arteta has got, it is just going to seep through his players.
Look at Bukayo Saka, to miss a penalty in the manner he did but then to still put in a performance like that. He never shied away from the ball and carried on doing his job, but then to get Arsenal’s first goal the way that he did, showed just where he is mentally.
The same goes for the whole side. Mentally, these Arsenal players are ready for the big time now.

Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, speaking to TNT Sports: "We showed that we can play in Europe and beat one of the best teams in the world, home and away. Very proud of this team.
"Tonight was a big statement and I am so happy for everyone."
On his penalty miss: "It can happen. I tried something, but it didn't work. I was confident I was going to score tonight.
"I learn in every moment. Tonight, I am more focused on enjoying the win and then I will review it properly."
On the game: "We felt comfortable. We are quite good when we get into a low block. It took a lot of running but we managed to do it."
On PSG: "Much different, I see them playing with much more confidence. We will be ready and it will be a very good match."
On whether Arsenal can win the Champions League: "Yes. I like to believe that."

Inter defender Benjamin Pavard, speaking to Amazon Prime: "The goal was a great emotion, I'm very happy but above all, I'm happy for the team that passed a great defensive test and achieved a great objective. It wasn't easy but we knew it, we did a great job.
"We suffered a lot on the pitch, we knew that one of the keys to the match would be the defence. We did our job very well. We don't set limits, since we've come this far we want to keep going. We're an excellent group with an excellent staff that has been working well for two years."

Arsenal remain unbeaten against Real Madrid in European competition (W2 D1), and haven’t conceded a single goal across their three meetings. The Gunners could become the first side ever to keep four consecutive clean sheets against Los Blancos in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League.
Real Madrid’s defeat at the Emirates Stadium was the fifth time they have lost the first leg of a knockout stage tie in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League by 3+ goals, while they’ve been eliminated in the second leg in three of the previous four occasions (the exception being against Derby County in the last 16 in 1975-76, winning 6-5 on aggregate after a 1-4 defeat in the first leg).
Across the 53 games that Real Madrid have played against English sides in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League, they’ve managed to win by more than three goals on just two previous occasions: 5-1 v Derby County in 1975-76 (last 16) and 4-0 v Tottenham Hotspur in 2010-11 (quarter-final).
Since the start of the 2015-16 season, this will be the 16th time that Real Madrid have played the second leg of a UEFA Champions League knockout stage tie at home. Of the previous 15, they’ve only been eliminated on one occasion (v Ajax in the last 16 in 2018-19), and progressed from the last eight in a row.
Arsenal could equal their longest winning run away from home in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League (4 – won their last three). Indeed, the only previous time they won four in a row, the fourth game of that run was a victory against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu (1-0 in February 2006, last 16 first leg).
Arsenal have scored an average of 2.55 goals and conceded 0.55 per game in the UEFA Champions League this season (28 scored, six conceded overall), with both of these being their second-best averages in a single European Cup/Champions League campaign, after the 2.63 scored in 2010-11 and 0.31 conceded in 2005-06.
Despite averaging more possession (53.4%), Arsenal made 115 high-intensity pressures in the final third in the first leg of this tie. This was more than three times as many as Real Madrid, whose total of 36 was the lowest of any side across this season’s quarter-final first legs.
Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé has been directly involved in eight goals in eight knockout stage games against English sides in the UEFA Champions League (seven goals, one assist), including five in four home outings (four goals, one assist).
Currently on 28 goals and 21 assists, Vinícius Júnior could become the fourth different Real Madrid player to reach 50 goal involvements in the UEFA Champions League (after Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Raúl), which would be at least twice as many as any other team (Lewandowski and Müller for Bayern).
In the first leg of this tie, Myles Lewis-Skelly became just the third English teenager to assist a goal in a UEFA Champions League knockout stage match. All three of those have done so while playing for Arsenal: Theo Walcott in 2008 (v Milan and Liverpool), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in 2012 (v Milan) and Myles Lewis-Skelly in 2025 (v Real Madrid).
