Arsenal Stung Real Madrid 3 Nil As Inter Milan Win At Bayern Munich
Arsenal produced a stunning performance in the Champions League to defeat Real Madrid 3-0 in the first leg of their quarter-final clash.
Mikel Arteta was able to start Bukayo Saka for the first time since his return from hamstring injury.
And it was Saka who was fouled for the free-kick that Declan Rice curled past Thibaut Courtois to give the Gunners the lead in the second half.
Rice repeated the trick again, firing another free-kick into Courtois’ net, as Arsenal raced into a two-goal lead.
Mikel Merino ensured that his side will travel to the Bernabeu with a comfortable lead, sweeping home Myles Lewis-Skelly’s lay-off.
In the other game of the night, Inter Milan won 2-1 at Bayern Munich.
Lautaro Martinez opened the scoring for the Serie A side, before Thomas Muller levelled with five minutes left.
But there was enough time for Davide Frattesi to slam home the winner.
