🗒️ Match Events
- 1st Half Begins
| Time | Event | Links |
|---|---|---|
| 1’ | French referee Francois Letexier blows his whistle and we are underway at the Bernabeu! | |
| 3’ | GOOOOO-NO!! Madrid do have the ball in the back of the net but it’s a clear offside. Mbappe launches a counter, finds Vinicius in the left channel. | |
| 4’ | 🟨 David Alaba (Real Madrid) is shown the yellow card | |
| 6’ | It’s been a lively start to this encounter with Madrid already baring their teeth with a couple of breaks. Arsenal have had some nice interplay too. | |
| 8’ | GREAT EFFORT! Saka up against Alaba is looking like a mismatch early doors. The England winger cuts inside and hits a low 20-yard drive that Courtois parries. | |
| 9’ | Arsenal win the first corner of the evening that Rice swings in but it’s easily collected by Courtois. | |
| 10’ | There’s a check here for a potential foul from that aforementioned corner, with Asencio potentially dragging Merino to ground…this is interesting. | |
| 10’ | PENALTY TO ARSENAL! Letexier goes over to the screen and around 90 seconds after the incident he’s opted to point to the penalty spot! | |
| 11’ | 🟨 Raúl Asencio (Real Madrid) is shown the yellow card | |
| 13’ | SAVED BY COURTOIS! Oh what a moment this is. It’s Saka who steps up to take it, the winger went for a Paneka penalty but Courtois gets across to make the stop! | Highlight |
| 23’ | PENALTY TO MADRID!!! OH MY WHAT A MOMENT! Madrid swing a cross in the penalty area and Rice is judged to have pulled Mbappe to ground. | |
| 25’ | The check is still ongoing here, this really is quite ridiculous from VAR. | |
| 27’ | Finally the referee is being asked to go over to the screen, the delay here is absolutely absurd. | |
| 28’ | WOW! WHAT A MOMENT! Letexier has decided after all the wait that it wasn’t a penalty after all! He’s changed his mind, Rice’s yellow card is chalked off. | |
| 36’ | 🟨 David Raya (Arsenal) is shown the yellow card. | |
| 45’ | Unsurprisingly, there will be seven additional minutes to play in this first half after those earlier VAR delays. |

| 61’ | Substitution, Real Madrid. Endrick replaces Lucas Vázquez. | |
| 61’ | Substitution, Real Madrid. Fran García replaces David Alaba. | |
| 61’ | Substitution, Real Madrid. Dani Ceballos replaces Rodrygo. | |
| 65’ | ⚽ Goal! Real Madrid 0, Arsenal 1. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) | Highlight |
- GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! ARSENAL MAKE THE BREAKTHROUGH ON THE NIGHT! IT’S 1-0 AND 4-0 ON AGGREGATE! This is some goal. Saka actually starts it after receiving Merino’s flick on and picks out Odegaard. The Norwegian interchanges with Rice and then Merino, the latter of whom slips in Saka in the area and the England ace clips it over Courtois in sublime style! What a moment in this game.
| 67’ | ⚽ Goal! Real Madrid 1, Arsenal 1. Vinícius Júnior (Real Madrid) | Highlight |
- HOLD. THE. PHONE! MADRID HIT STRAIGHT BACK, IT’S 1-1 AND NOW 4-1 TO ARSENAL ON AGGREGATE. Oh that is an absolute howler from Saliba, who gets caught out in possession by Vinicius, who can then just clip his shot into an unguarded goal with Raya nowhere to be seen. Surely Real Madrid couldn’t, could they?
| 74’ | Substitution, Real Madrid. Luka Modric replaces Raúl Asencio. | |
