David Alaba goes down too early. Bukayo Saka is delighted to see him go down to ground. A good save, but one you expect Thibaut Courtois to make.
Real Madrid 0-0 Arsenal (agg 0-3)
Bukayo Saka is looking lively for Arsenal and he skips a challenge on the edge of the box before firing off a shot that Thibaut Courtois pushes behind.
Decent spell from Arsenal here.

Matthew Upson
Former Arsenal and Brighton defender on BBC Radio 5 Live
That was a brilliant effort from Bukayo Saka, right foot, strikes it cleanly.
What a start to this game.
Real Madrid 0-0 Arsenal (agg 0-3)
An Arsenal goal would really quieten the home fans and they are not far off to getting that as Bukayo Saka fizzes an effort across the face of goal.
Thibaut Courtois certainly looked concerned enough by that effort.
Inter Milan 0-0 Bayern Munich (agg 2-1)
Leon Goretzka gets a telling off from the referee for a late tackle on Marcus Thuram.
Going to be a very lively game and what's not to love about that?!

That could've been a different colour card. David Alaba misses the ball and launches in.
If his foot a bit higher, he's off the pitch.
It's a crazy decision.

A yellow card already for Real Madrid as David Alaba slides in recklessly on Bukayo Saka.
Real are determined to get in the faces of the Arsenal players and unsettle them.
Inter Milan 0-0 Bayern Munich (agg 2-1)
What a great start this has been for Bayern as Harry Kane spreads the play wide right to Michael Olise. He finds Thomas Muller and his shot is saved relatively easily by Yann Sommer.

Why is he in that offside position? That's a strange one. He was looking straight across the line.
Real Madrid 0-0 Arsenal (agg 0-3)
Oooh, the ball is in the back of the Arsenal net but relief for the away fans as the offside flag goes up quickly.
Kylian Mbappe, standing way offside, chests in Vinícius Júnior's cross.

As an Arsenal fan. Whoever gets the first goal will go through. If it’s Madrid they will effectively smell blood in the water and heavily rout us. If it’s Arsenal then we may just cling on.

That is stunning from Bayern as Thomas Muller tees up Michael Olise inside the box and Olise's strike is well blocked by Benjamin Pavard. Looked to be destined for the bottom corner.
Huge concern for Inter here as Nicolo Barella is down in a lot of pain after twisting his ankle.

This atmosphere is excellent as the teams come out for kick-off.
The fan display is superb and the Madrid fans are bouncing.
Mikel Arteta says that he has prepared his team to come out to win but they're going to have to be prepared for a fast start from Madrid.

Brave goalkeeping from Jonas Urbig to dive at the feet of Marcus Thuram and gather the ball before the striker could make it 1-0.
Inter Milan 0-0 Bayern Munich (agg 2-1)
As expected, the atmosphere in the San Siro is absolutely incredible as the fans sang along to the Champions League anthem.
We've all done it!
Here we go then! Who will reach the semi-finals?
We are under way in Milan and will be soon in Madrid.

Matthew Upson
Former Arsenal and Brighton defender on BBC Radio 5 Live
Arsenal, to get through this game safely, have to get through the first five or 10 minutes. I think it could be absolutely electric in here with the hype around this game.
It could be super fast from the start and Arsenal have to be ready.

Ian Dennis
BBC Radio 5 Live senior football reporter at the Bernabeu
Image source, Getty ImagesReal Madrid with the narrative of the “Remontada” has certainly created a lot of excitement amidst the expectation.
However, it’s worth highlighting that Arsenal haven’t lost a match by a three-goal margin in 703 days!
Also, don’t forget Real Madrid have conceded 64 goals this season… the most under the reign of Carlo Ancelotti.

I am a nervous Gooner. I remember 2011 Arsenal beat Barcelona 2-1 at Emirates, Arsharvin scored both. Then the second leg Barcelona won 3-1. I hope history doesn't repeat.

Real Madrid v Arsenal (20:00 BST, agg 0-3)
The Real Madrid fans are doing their part here. A huge Tifo has been unveiled while they are drowning out the sounds of the Arsenal fans with a huge amount of noise.
The players are ready to step out onto the pitch. What an atmosphere will greet them.

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).
