It is indeed a historical night for Arsenal. 

They remain unbeaten against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Mikel Arteta becomes the first manager since Arsene Wenger to take Arsenal to the Champions League semi-finals. 

They will now face PSG in the final four. Can they finally lift the trophy? Only time will tell. 

I hope you enjoyed the coverage. Thank you and good night.

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.

Even Urbing came into the opposition box for the crucial free-kick from Kimmich, but Bayern have messed it up. They took an unconventional approach, but a heavy touch from Gnabry gave Inter defender breathing space to buckle things up. Olise and Muller's efforts also went to waste.

A slight miscommunication between Inter defenders and Sommer led to some errors, forcing Sommer to make a clueless punch to delay the fanger. Harry Kane anticipated a second ball and attempted a first-time volleyed strike from inside the box that skies way over the bar!

Out: Kim Min-Jae, Leroy Sane

WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING HERE?

That's quite the turnaround from the home side. A couple of minutes after still finding themselves 1-0 down, Inter have flipped the contest and now lead 2-1. Çalhanoğlu swings in the corner and Pavard - making his 50th Champions League appearance against the side for whom he made his first 34 - heads in from close range.

Çalhanoğlu and Darmian both had attempts on target from inside the box, but Kim and Dier made two consecutive blocks.

And just like that, Inter Milan are back in business!

What a response from them! 

Six minutes after falling behind, the hosts are level again and their aggregate lead is restored too. The ball drops to Inter's all-time leader scorer in this competition after his own header comes off Kimmich and he drills in a ferocious leveller from close range.

Stanisic dummied the pass from Olise on the right, leaving it open for Muller on the left, but his right-footer soared just over the bar!

Bayern are looking for a quick second goal to lead in this tie.

Against the flow of the play, Thuram carried out a solo counter-attack.

However, he moved closer to the goal with a cut-in inside the box before slicing a right-footed strike on target that was well-grabbed by Urbig.

Harry Kane has torn down Inter's defence apart out of nowhere!

The forward received the ball on the right side of the box and fooled Dimarco with a composed grounder that slotted home through the bottom-left corner.

The tie is all square now.

Thuram fired into the box from the left side of the box, and was seemingly pushed down by Laimer.

Despite a loud appeal from Inter players, the referee signalled to continue the play.

Eric Dier, another Bayern center-half, is also on the bookings after a foul on... yes, Marcus Thuram, again.

Harry Kane won the duel inside the box, explored some free space in front of him, but failed to find his teammates with his pass from a very tough angle on the left.

Following a corner, Sane attempted an acrobatic effort at goal, but the volley did not have much power to beat Sommer.

What an impeccable resilience from Inter players!

Mkhitaryan blocked a close-range shot from Muller that followed an attempt from Sane, which was also blocked by Matteo Darmian. The last attempt from Sane was somehow palmed over the bar by Sommer.

Barella brilliantly set up the ball for Dimarco on the left with a crossfield pass, which Dimarco passed back to Çalhanoğlu in front of the box. The Inter midfielder unleashed his trademark, a rocketed long-range strike, which missed the right post by inches!

Dimarco crossed it into the box from the free-kick on the left, as Acerbi sliced it to the far post with a swift touch. Thuram also tried to reach the ball, but missed it by a whisker, and the ball rolled inches wide off the target!

Kim Min-Jae receives the first yellow of this game for a harsh sliding tackle on Thuram.

Yann Sommer made no mistake in coming off the line in time and collecting the cross from an Olise corner.

Alessandro Bastoni shows his composure with the ball, but this time, in an attacking opportunity.

He danced through the left side of the box before launching a shot that deflected off Dier and went over the bar, resulting in a corner.

While building the attack, Marcus Thuram looks to have sustained an injury inside the box.

He is down, and the game has stopped.

As expected, the tussle has been quite physical so far. Bayern have committed three fouls so far, whereas Inter have committed just one.

Despite that, we can see neck-to-neck fights to win every ball.

Olise received a long ball from Muller in the middle of the box, standing in a one-on-one situation against Sommer. However, Bastoni made a timely tackle to deny him from taking a strike.

Such a brilliant build-up from Inter!

Marcus Thuram carried the ball up to the box, from where he passed it to a triggering Dimarco on the right. The full-back unleashed a powerful left-footed half-volley on target, but Urbig looked confident with his grab.

Muller received the ball in the middle of the box following a sublime Bayern build-up, but Sommer collected his grounded strike on a half-turn.

Following a flashy flick from Muller, Olise received the ball inside the box and took a left-footed shot, but Benjamin Pavard, the ex-Bayern man, made a crucial block.

Mkhitaryan attempted an open strike from the edge of the box that Goretzka blocked. Following that, Lautaro's shot was well-claimed by Urbig.

Bayern start things off at the San Siro!

List of players who might get suspended in a potential semi-final first leg if they receive any booking tonight.

Bayern will be without Jamal Musiala for the rest of the season, which opens the door for Raphael Guerreiro to potentially start as the number 10 again after his impressive performance off the bench against Dortmund. Although Thomas Müller scored after being introduced from the bench last week, Guerreiro's contribution may earn him a starting spot.

Young goalkeeper Jonas Urbig will start again as Manuel Neuer's return date has been pushed back to the end of April at the earliest. The team is also facing a number of absentees in defense, with Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano, and Hiroki Ito all sidelined due to injury.

Serge Gnabry is putting pressure on Leroy Sané for a starting position after scoring off the bench in the recent draw against Dortmund. However, it is likely that coach Vincent Kompany will stick with Sané in this match, especially with Kingsley Coman also available for selection.

Inzaghi made minor rotations to his Inter team over the weekend, allowing players like Marcus Thuram, Alessandro Bastoni, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to rest in preparation for the second leg. 

Mehdi Taremi has returned from a muscle injury and was on the bench for the match against Cagliari, while Kristjan Asllani will also be available again after serving a European suspension. However, both are expected to start as substitutes. 

Piotr Zielinski and Denzel Dumfries remain sidelined due to injuries. Additionally, Inzaghi faces a decision at left wing-back, as Federico Dimarco has regained full fitness, but Carlos Augusto is currently playing exceptionally well.

An electric game ended in Inter Milan's favour as the Italian club scored a late winner to earn a 2-1 away victory over Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.

Cesare Augusto and Marcus Thuram combined to set up a beautiful trivela goal from Lautaro Martinez, the Nerrazzuri skipper, in the 38th minute. Inter led at the break, but after a couple of wasted opportunities from both sides, Thomas Muller pulled off the equalizer for Bayern in the 85th minute, only ten minutes after coming off the bench.
