Real Madrid defeated by Arsenal to end Champions League defence

### Summary: Arsenal defeated Real Madrid 2-1 in the Champions League quarterfinal, securing a 5-1 aggregate win and advancing to the semifinals for the first time since 2009. VAR played a crucial role in two penalty decisions during the match. Arsenal will now face Paris Saint-Germain in the next round. Real Madrid’s hopes of staging another comeback were dashed, and they failed to reach the last four for the first time since 2020. Coach Carlo Ancelotti acknowledged that he could be replaced but thanked the club regardless. In another quarterfinal match, Inter Milan advanced to face Barcelona in the semifinals after a 4-3 aggregate win over Bayern Munich, despite a nervy 2-2 draw in the second leg.
