Arsenal advanced to the UEFA Champions League semifinals with a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid, concluding a 5-1 aggregate win that sets up a clash with Paris Saint-Germain. Despite PSG’s progression, Kylian Mbappe faced criticism for his performance, especially after being subbed off during Madrid’s elimination, with media comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo deemed invalid and questions raised about his fit at the club. Bukayo Saka opened the scoring for Arsenal, followed by Vinicius Jr.’s quick equalizer, but Gabriel Martinelli sealed the win in stoppage time.
