Real Madrid won the first leg 2-0 last week, so the score on the live blog indicates the second leg, rather than aggregate, scoreline.

FULL TIMEEEE!!!!!
90+4' And a chance for Foord up the other end who gets past Misa but can't hit the target from range! 3-0
90+4' The first corner goes all the way through everyone, but takes a deflection so Madrid will have another go. Russo heads it away! 3-0
90+3' Van Domselaar saves from Caicedo before the follow-up is deflected behind! Still time here for Madrid. 3-0

87' Another cross from Mead just evades Russo and is claimed by Misa. Arsenal three minutes away from booking flights and hotels in Lyon. 3-0
83' Mead's free kick just skims the crossbar! Tough to get that up and down over the wall as it was right on the edge of the box. 3-0
83' 22,517 in attendance, the highest crowd for a Women’s Champions League quarter-final in England. 3-0
82' Now that was the chance for Russo's hat-trick, played one on one with Misa but the goalkeeper saves well. 3-0
81' Every single Arsenal cross into the box tonight, whether it be a set-piece or from open play, has caused so many problems for Real Madrid. Almost unplayable at times. 3-0
81' Russo heads just wide at the back post from Mead's corner! 3-0
79' A bit of a coming together between Mead, Foord and Garcia with the referee having to intervene. Mead's free-kick is flashed across goal and behind for a corner. 3-0

3' The ball has not left Madrid's half with Arsenal attacking down both flanks. 0-0
1' Underway! Strap yourselves in! 0-0
An excellent atmosphere here at the Emirates ahead of kick-off, with Arsenal needing to come from 2-0 down to beat Real Madrid and reach a second Champions League semi-final in three seasons.
And a rousing chorus of North London Forever! With lyrics on the big screen. Here come the teams.
Firstly, a pre-match lights show.
The teams are in the tunnel! How are the nerves?
So then, it's a simple task mathematically. Arsenal must score twice to take it to extra time, three times to reach the semi-finals. If Real Madrid score, the Gunners must keep on scoring. And any team with the likes of Caicedo, Weir and Bruun in will fancy their chances of finding the net.
The winners of the quarter-final between Arsenal and Real Madrid will face Lyon in the semis after they beat Bayern Munich 6-1 on aggregate.
Wubben-Moy on tonight's game: "We're focused, we're ready and I think it's going to be a fast start."
Lotte Wubben-Moy is being interviewed pitchside: "I'm doing great, I've really appreciated the fans' messages. The last two weeks I've been on the pitch, feeling good, feeling strong. Most importantly I'm doing it for the girls, cheering them on."
Rosa Kafaji is back on the bench for Arsenal, with Lina Hurtig appearing to have picked up an injury in training yesterday.
Arsenal have placed a number of flags in the opposite stand to our press box, and there will be a light show before kick-off to build up the atmosphere, which always seems to improve on these midweek nights.
Over 20,000 tickets have been sold, with Arsenal expected to break their own record for the highest attendance at a Women's Champions League quarter-final in England, set two seasons ago against Bayern Munich.
Both sides are out warming up, with Arsenal U21s head coach Elliot Allum involved for the second game in a row, as part of Renee Slegers' coaching staff by the looks of it.
One change for Madrid, as Athenea replaces the injured Leupolz. Extra threat in attack, less control in midfield, on paper.
Subs: Laia, Sofia, Antonia, Redondo, Yasmim, Moller, Camacho, Navarro, Feller, Noemi, Dorado, Elsa.
Real Madrid: Misa; Olga, Lakrar, Mendez, Garcia; Weir, Angeldahl, Toletti; Athenea, Bruun, Caicedo.
Subs: Zinsberger, Williams, Codina, Mead, Walti, Kafaji, Pelova, Nighswonger, Blackstenius, Ilestedt, Cooney-Cross, Reid.
Arsenal: Van Domselaar; McCabe, Catley, Williamson, Fox; Little, Mariona; Foord, Maanum, Kelly; Russo.
Team news is in, and Arsenal have named an unchanged side from Saturday's 4-0 win over Liverpool (which in itself saw four changes from the 2-0 loss in Madrid).
Good evening and welcome to a mild evening on the carpet that is Emirates Stadium. Arsenal will have to be pitch perfect to overturn last week's 2-0 defeat and reach the Champions League semi-finals.
