North London club, Arsenal sealed their place in this season’s UEFA Champions League (UCL) semi-final after beating La Liga giants, Real Madrid 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday night.
The Gunners who travelled to Spain with a healthy 3-0 lead from the first leg were given the chance to silence the noisy home support when they were awarded a 13th-minute penalty.
But Bukayo Saka saw his tame effort saved by Thibaut Courtois, as both sides went into the break without scoring.
