Arsenal discover Champions League Quarter-Final Opponents

Mikel Arteta's side will travel to Madrid after thrashing PSV 9-3 on aggregate




Arsenal will face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals after Carlo Ancelotti's side beat rivals Atletico Madrid 4-2 on penalties.

Atletico won the second leg 1-0 after 120 minutes thanks to Connor Gallagher's goal after just 29th second, to level on aggregate after a 2-1 first leg defeat at the Bernabeu.

However, Julian Alvarez saw his penalty controversially disallowed in the shootout, the former Manchester City man adjudged to have kicked the ball twice as he slipped, with Antonio Rudiger scoring the decisive spot-kick.

At the Emirates Stadium, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Declan Rice scored as Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw by PSV. The Gunners' 7-1 first leg win saw Mikel Arteta's side cruise into the quarter-finals with a 9-3 aggregate win over the Dutch side.
