On Wednesday night at the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid lost the second leg 2-1, having already conceded a 3-0 defeat in the first leg, ultimately being eliminated in the quarter-finals.

Despite this elimination, Vinicius Junior reached a special milestone in the Champions League, now directly contributing to 50 goals in the competition. The Brazilian star has scored 29 goals and provided 21 assists. With these stats, he joins the ranks of club legends like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Raul, who achieved this feat before him.

However, Bukayo Saka’s flawless performance ensured Arsenal eliminated the star-studded Real Madrid. Just a year ago, Real Madrid celebrated their 15th Champions League title. Now, Carlo Ancelotti’s squad must analyze this bitter quarter-final failure.

Despite the presence of stars like Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid could not overcome Arsenal, and now only a few weeks remain until the end of their season.

Vinicius sent a clear and hopeful message to the fans after the defeat:“Real Madrid will return, as always. Thank you for your support. We must stay together in the final weeks of the season. There are still trophies to be won… Until the last moment with this team and this club, always together. Hala Madrid!”

The Brazilian star also congratulated Arsenal on their advancement, stating respectfully:“Congratulations to Arsenal.”

Carlo Ancelotti’s future at Real Madrid is now in doubt; despite a squad full of stars, they suffered an early Champions League exit and trail Barcelona by four points in La Liga.
