Recap

Bayern Munich leave it late in a back-and-forth classic to beat Real Madrid 4-3 to set up a meeting with Paris St-Germain in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid faced off in a hard-fought match in the 2025-26 Champions League quarterfinals. While the German side dominated, Real Madrid shone with their efficiency. However, Luis Díaz and Michael Olise led the way to victory with two brilliant goals. Throughout the match, Bayern Munich established as the more dominant side, enjoying long spells of possession and excelling with their high press. However, Real Madrid managed to compete by sitting deep defensively and breaking on the counterattack, proving quite efficient. While this kept the game closely contested, Luis Díaz and Michael Olise ultimately decided the Champions League victory with two stunning goals in the closing minutes. Los Blancos started the match in top form, as just 36 seconds in, Arda Güler scored a long-range goal following a mistake by Manuel Neuer in the build-up. However, they chose not to seek control through possession, instead sitting back defensively and hitting on the counterattack. Because of this, they were able to dictate the rhythm of the game, with the Turkish midfielder completing a brilliant brace, including a stunning free-kick goal.

Aleksandar Pavlović and Harry Kane scored the two goals that brought the game level, showcasing their quality. However, Kylian Mbappé restored the lead in the 45th minute, finishing off a great cross from Vinícius Jr. with two touches to beat Manuel Neuer and send his team into halftime in front.

In response, Los Blancos relied on a solid low block that cut out any attacking moves while breaking quickly on the counter. After persistent pressure, the German side eventually found the victory, with two impressive individual moments from Luis Díaz and Michael Olise late in the match. Luis Diaz and Michael Olise impressed with their brilliant goals Relentlessly pressing for a goal in the second half, Bayern Munich finally broke the deadlock in the aggregate score. Driving into Real Madrid’s box, Aleksandar Pavlović executed a short pass to Luis Díaz on the left, who then returned it and laid it off to Jamal Musiala. The German executed a first-time backheel pass, setting up the Colombian perfectly. After dribbling past the defenders, Díaz fired an excellent shot past Lunin. Far from settling after Luis Díaz’s goal, the German side maintained their attacking intent. Following a pass from Harry Kane, Michael Olise drove efficiently toward Real Madrid’s box. Taking on Antonio Rüdiger and Franco Mastantuono, the Frenchman unleashed a stunning strike from outside the area, placing the ball into the corner of the net and leaving Andriy Lunin with no chance, making it 6–4 on aggregate.

ARSENAL 0-0 SPORTING: The Gunners booked their place in the Champions League semi final, but endured another nervy night as they were held at the Emirates

Arsenal and Sporting CP are clashing at the Emirates Stadium for the UEFA Champions League, a must-watch game alongside our liveblog coverage. Arsenal hosted Sporting CP on Wednesday, April 15, for the second leg of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League quarterfinals at Emirates Stadium. Following a scoreless draw, the Gunners maintained their aggregate advantage from the first leg to secure a spot in the semifinals for the second consecutive season. The Gunners returned home holding a 1-0 aggregate lead established at José Alvalade Stadium, courtesy of Kai Havertz’s dramatic last-minute winner. Aware of their slim cushion, the hosts adopted a disciplined approach, conceding just one shot on target to a Sporting CP side that proved unable to crack Arsenal’s defensive shape. With the result, an unbeaten Arsenal side has reached the Champions League semifinals in back-to-back seasons for the first time in club history.

Atletico Madrid survive a 2-1 second leg defeat to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, as ten-man Barcelona are eliminated 3-2 on aggregate at the Wanda Metropolitano.

To borrow a line from Mikel Arteta, it is not meant to be easy. And it was anything but on the latest anxiety-ridden, claustrophobic occasion for his Arsenal team. The club’s recent wobble has been pronounced. The loss to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final. The FA Cup exit at Southampton. The Premier League defeat against Bournemouth that has imperilled their title push. The nerves are pounding like a migraine and this was a night which was always going to be entirely outcome-based. Hold on to the 1-0 lead from the first-leg of this quarter-final and it would be triumph – only a fourth appearance in the semi-finals of the competition. Fall short against a tidy Sporting team and ignominy was guaranteed; a deepening of the existential crisis. It is City next at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, after all.

Yashin, famously, could pick the ball up off the ground with one hand. Banks was a genius, saw him live once, crap match, Everton v Stoke, 0-0, the only moment of magic was a save he made. Neither of these would have been able to ‘play out from the back’ or any of that because it was a different game then. You could still pass back to the keeper! Neuer is great, but really? Up there with those greats from a bygone age? If you’re looking for a great German goalkeeper how about Trautmann as the GGKOAT ? How many others have played on with a broken neck? No doubting that Trautmann is a legend for different reasons but he doesn’t touch Kahn or Sepp Maier, never mind Neuer. However, Jeremy does make a good point in comparing players from such different eras. It’s effectively impossible, as it was a completely different game and is just a subjective choice. But I’d have 1. Yashin 2. Neuer 3. Buffon (for what it’s worth).

Havertz’s stoppage-time winner from the opening match proved enough for an unconvincing Arsenal.

English-Ghanaian winger Owura Edwards played a key role in Colchester United’s 2–1 home win over Accrington Stanley, laying on the crucial equaliser in a hard-fought League Two clash at the JobServe Community Stadium.With Colchester trailing, Edwards sparked the comeback in the 43rd minute, driving at the defence before supplying the pass for Will Goodwin to level the score at 1–1 just before half-time.That moment shifted the momentum after Shaun Whalley had earlier put Accrington ahead on 33 minutes, and Colchester went on to dominate possession and chances after the break. Their pressure finally told late on when Jack Payne struck an 86th-minute winner, completing the turnaround and sealing a valuable three points for the U’s.For Edwards, the assist adds to a steadily growing contribution this season, with the 25-year-old now on 1 goal and 4 assists in 33 League Two appearances in 2025/26. His direct running and creativity from the flank once again gave Colchester a constant outlet in attack. Danny Cowley’s side now turn their attention to their next league fixture away at Harrogate Town on Saturday, 18 April 2026.
