The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals did not result in any match. The match between Real Madrid and Manchester City was drawn 3-3.

Then began Arsenal’s fight back in the match. They created several opportunities. But the forwards missed the opportunity and the host had to wait. The task of breaking Bayern’s defense was not easy for them either. However, in the 76th minute, Leandro Trossard did the impossible for the team. Trossard scored from a great team attack. Arsenal survived by leaving the half.
Arsenal, however, insisted on a penalty in added time after full time. The hosts went for a penalty when Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer brought down Saka. But the referee did not respond to that request. The duel between the two parties remains unresolved.
The second leg will be a week later. That match will decide who will get the semi-final ticket.
