Arsenal Advances to Champions League Semifinals, Defeats Real Madrid 5-1 on Aggregate

Arsenal advanced to the Champions League semi-finals after defeating Real Madrid 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu, completing a 5-1 aggregate victory. Thomas Partey played a pivotal role in the midfield, finishing the match with 100 percent pass accuracy and showcasing his defensive and offensive skills, including a memorable dribble past Dani Ceballos. Although Partey's performance was crucial, he will miss the first leg of the semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain due to card accumulation. Injured players like Gabriel and Gabriel Jesus celebrated the win from afar, with Jesus posting a supportive message on social media and Gabriel joining family celebrations while recovering from knee surgery. The victory highlights Arsenal's growing stature in European football, as noted by manager Mikel Arteta, who emphasized the team's progress and resilience against a formidable Real Madrid side.
