Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Thomas Partey, who was forced off in their last match in Premier League, is fine now. Along with him, Ben White, who is doutful, also trained with the squad. 

The lid of the Santiago Bernabeu will be closed for this fixture. This means the sound will be amplified and the atmosphere will be too loud for anyone to focus.

Declan Rice scored two stunning free-kicks and Mikel Merino kept his form against Real Madrid intact to hand Arsenal a huge 3-0 advatnage in the first leg. 

Real Madrid did not look at their best at Emirates Stadium. But, under the lid at Santiago Bernabeu, they can be a lethal team. 

Arsenal are now ubeaten in 9 games across compettions since losing against West Ham United at home. Since then Arteta's men have beaten teams like Chelsea in Premier League and Real Madrid in Champions League. 

Though they have gone through a few injuries in the recent past, they have been one of the better sides offlate. Not only that, they have scored the third most goals in this season's Champions League (28). Only Barcelona (36) and Bayern Munich (29) have scored more goals than them.

In recent time, Real Madrid have failed to get going. They have faced defeat against Valencia in La Liga and then lost the first leg against Arsenal in Champions League as well. 

In the Copa del Rey semis, they drew against Real Sociedad 4-4 till the extra time and then went on to win the game on aggregate. 

So, overall, they Spanish giants have not been at their best. 

Do you know Real Madrid have not beaten Arsenal in Champions League yet. Although they are the team to beat 144 teams in the Champions League so far, Arsenal do not come in that list. 

Not only that, Real Madrid are yet to score a single goal against Arsenal. 

So far, these two teams have played three matches against each other. Arsenal have won twice and drwan once. 

With a seating captacity of 78,297, Santiago Bernabeu is Spain's second largest football stadium. It has hosted four European Cup/UEFA Champions League finals in the past. Moreover, it is also the first stadium to host final of both Euro Cup and FIFA World Cup. 

It has been home of Real Madrid since 1947.

Date: 17 March 2025

Time: 12.30 am IST

Venue: Santiago Barnebeu

Not a great night for FC Barcelona as a team but they got what they wanted. They reach the Champions League semi-final for the first time since 2019. 

Despite a hat-trick from Guirassy, who now has 12 goals in this seaons's Champions League, Dortmund could not recover the defeat in Barcelona in frist leg. 

This game proved that Barcelona are not invincible; they can be beaten. This is Hansi Flick's team's first defeat in 2025 but they would love to forget this match and move on to the next one. 

The treble dream is on for them. 

Barcelona will face either of Inter Milan or FC Bayern Munich in the semi-finals. 

We will see you in the semis. Till then, take care and good night. Thank You.

Dortmund 2-0 Barcelona (2-4 agg)

Double save from Szczęsny. He first denied Adeyemi with his left foot and then he stopped Gorss' attempt.

No changes from either team.

Barcelona will be the happier one to listen the whistle. They have looked shaky and rusty. 

Dortmund would have liked one more goal in the first half but they kept on producing chances the entire half. 

Will we see changes from Barcelona? Surely, we will see more speed and tactical changes from Flick.

Great ball play from Gavi and Lewandowski to find Raphinha at the edge of the box, making a run with the ball. 

However, after a poor touch, he lost the ball. 

Raphinha concedded the free-kick from the edge of the box. Gross took the free-kick and Beier's header went straight to Szczęsny. Althogh he was alredy offside.

Chance for Barcelona to find the net. But, Lewandowski's pass to Fermin Lopez found him in an offside position. 

Barcelona are settling down after a very shaky first 25 minutes. 

Raphina and Lamine Yamal looked in postion now. But, still, Lamine has not looked at his best though.

Bensebaini did well there jump highest and win the ball off a corner from the left. End the end it was an easy grab for Szczęsny.

They have looked good but Guirassy misses another chance from close range.

Adeyemi's pass and a cross from the left gave Guirassy a chance to side foot the ball into the goal. Chance gone begging for Dortmund.
