According to reports, Arsenal crushed Real Madrid with a dominant 5-1 aggregate victory in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. Last week, they secured a 3-0 away win at the Emirates, establishing a significant advantage.

After Paris Saint-Germain advanced past Aston Villa on Tuesday, Mikel Arteta’s men will face the French champions in the semi-finals. The first leg is scheduled for April 29.

Thomas Partey will miss the match after receiving his third yellow card before the quarter-final bookings were reset. The Ghanaian midfielder protested after Antonio Rüdiger clashed with Mikel Merino in an aerial duel.

Partey was subsequently booked for dissent, prompting Declan Rice to grab his arm, grit his teeth, and express his frustration by hitting him on the back.

Arsenal was also without midfielder Jorginho, who was absent tonight, and it remains unclear whether he will be available for the match against Paris Saint-Germain later this month.

Partey has played 45 times for Arsenal this season and is a key figure in their midfield. His absence against Luis Enrique’s unbeaten side (after 28 league matches) will be significant.
