After missing a penalty earlier, Bukayo Saka scored a goal to extend Arsenal’s lead to brighten Arsenal’s hope of making it to the semifinal.
Real Madrid issued a swift response just two minutes, following a costly error from William Saliba, who was unconscious of Vinicius Junior’s presence around him.
But Gabriel Martinelli dashed Madrid’s hope in when he made the scoreline 2-1 through a counterattack in stoppage time.
In a related development, Inter Milan progressed to the semifinal despite being held to a 2-2 draw by Bayern at the San Siro.
The Italian giants had won 2-1 over the Bundesliga side at the Allianz Arena last week and have now scaled through with a 4-3 aggregate victory.
Despite the late scare, it is Inter who advanced to face Barcelona in the last-four tie.
With the seemless victory against Real Madrid, Arsenal will slug it out with PSG in the other semifinal tie.
