1-0!4-5!Crazy night, 2 teams in the Premier League are out, Champions League semi-finals: the Premier League is wiped out
Football played two quarter-final second legs on this night, and played two crazy games. Manchester City host Real Madrid and it was a thrilling match. City had a frantic 33 shots, nine of which were on target, and just one goal was scored. Real Madrid, on the other hand, had only eight shots on goal and scored one goal. The two sides were decided by penalty shootouts. Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic were both guilty of penalties at crucial moments, and City lost on penalties, losing 4-5 and being eliminated 7-8 on aggregate.
Real Madrid took the lead thanks to Rodrygo's goal, but City then went on the offensive and Kevin De Bruyne seized the opportunity to score an equaliser. I thought that Manchester City would be able to counterattack next, but Manchester City kept missing opportunities and never scored again. When the game goes to penalties, it's all about uncertainty. It was Real Madrid who was a little harder and reached the semi-finals. Real Madrid goalkeeper Lu Ning's performance in this game was too good, he made 8 saves, and even saved twice in the penalty shootout, which is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to Real Madrid's promotion. Real Madrid have always won the Champions League and the goalkeeper has always done a great job.
Bayern Munich host Arsenal. Bayern dominated the game, with 15 shots on goal with 3 on target and 1 goal scored. Arsenal, on the other hand, had only eight shots on goal and failed to score. Bayern were actually very close to scoring before Kimmich's goal, only Goretzka and Guerreiro had shots blocked by the post. The victory was well deserved for Bayern. Bayern won the game 1-0 and eliminated Arsenal 3-2 on aggregate. Bayern are truly Arsenal's nemesis, having eliminated Arsenal in the Champions League five times.
It was a shame that the two giants of the Premier League, Manchester City and Arsenal, were out of the game overnight. In other words, the top 4 of the Champions League and the Premier League were all wiped out. It is also the first time since 2019/20 that there is no Premier League team in the last four of the Champions League. Of the four Premier League teams that have competed in the Champions League this season, Manchester United and Newcastle United have both finished bottom of the group in the group stage. Manchester City and Arsenal fell in the quarter-finals. So far, the top 4 of the Champions League have all been born: Dortmund vs. Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern vs. Real Madrid.
