Champions League: Real Madrid, Arsenal Qualify For Quarter-Final

4

Real Madrid saw off city rivals Atletico 4-2 on penalties to reach the Champions League quarterfinals.

The Round of 16 tie ended 2-2 on aggregate after extra time on Wednesday.

Antonio Rudiger converted the winning spot kick for Real after their second-leg match finished 1-0 to Atletico thanks to an early goal from midfielder Conor Gallagher.

Real will face Arsenal in the last eight.

Arsenal eased into the quarterfinals of the Champions League with a 9-3 aggregate victory over PSV Eindhoven after a 2-2 draw in the second leg of their round-of-16 clash on Wednesday.

Progress was already a formality for the north London club after their stunning 7-1 victory in the Netherlands last week and when Oleksandr Zinchenko blasted them ahead in the fifth minute, PSV would have feared another hammering.

Ivan Perisic replied for the visitors though with a sublime finish in the 18th minute to give the thousands of boisterous PSV fans something to cheer.

Declan Rice headed Arsenal back in front from Raheem Sterling’s cross before halftime but PSV earned a deserved reward for a vastly-improved display as Couhaib Driouech chipped in a 70th-minute leveller.
