Arsenal will play at the Santiago Bernabeu in the Champions League quarter-finals
Arsenal will play Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League at the start of next month after sealing a 9-3 aggregate win over PSV Eindhoven.
Mikel Arteta’s side drew 2-2 with the Dutch team in the second leg at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night. They later discovered their opponents as Real Madrid won 4-2 in a thrilling penalty shootout at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
After Kylian Mbappe, Alexander Sorloth and Jude Bellingham scored their spot-kicks, Julian Alvarez stepped up to make it 2-2. The former Manchester City forward squeezed his penalty under the roof to level – but referee Szymon Marciniak halted play shortly after Federico Valverde stepped up to take his penalty.
VAR then informed the Polish official that Alvarez had in fact touched the ball during his penalty twice – meaning it would not count. Former Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger would go on to score the decisive spot-kick to set-up a meeting with Arsenal.
