Winning both matches, Arsenal turned Real Madrid into the former champion

Having lost the first leg 0-3, Real Madrid knew that in the second leg, they had to win by at least 3 goals. That determination was shown by the players in white with a fast-paced game. But determination alone was not enough. Their coordination was too monotonous, not enough to cause trouble for Arsenal's solid defense.

Real Madrid were even close to conceding a goal. In the 13th minute, Asensio pulled his shirt in the penalty area, causing his team to be awarded a penalty. Fortunately for Real Madrid, Courtois guessed the right direction and successfully blocked the shot.

But this situation did not help Real Madrid's spirit become more excited. The Royal team still played very deadlocked, causing them to end the first half with no shots on target (while Arsenal had 3).

Mbappe played poorly in attack

In the second half, the situation did not change. Mbappe and Vinicius were still very lost in front of Arsenal's tight defense. And in the 65th minute, Arsenal punished the home team's sleepy play. Merino cleverly passed the ball to Saka who ran down and chipped the ball over goalkeeper Courtois' head to score the opening goal.

Real Madrid equalized just two minutes later, but it was a fortunate situation when Saliba made a basic mistake, allowing Vinicius to steal the ball on his own turf and score.

This goal was the only mark that Real Madrid made in the match. In the final minutes, Modric and Diaz entered the field and Real only attacked with one strategy: crosses from both wings. Of course, this approach could not cause any difficulties for Arsenal, who had superior height. And in the final minutes, the visitors made the home team sad with a run down, passing the last white defender before finishing neatly from Martinelli.

The two-legged score was 5-1 in favor of Arsenal, a convincing victory that helped the team reach the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in 16 years. Meanwhile, Real Madrid is officially the former champion.

In the same match, Bayern Munich had a similar fate when facing Inter Milan. They lost the first leg and the second leg only got a result of 2-2, thereby being eliminated with a final score of 2-4.
