Bayern Munich reached the Champions League semifinals with a 4-3 win over Real Madrid in a dramatic quarterfinal. Luis Diaz scored late with a powerful strike from the edge of the box to break the resistance of 10-man Real Madrid and seal Bayern’s place in the last four. Bayern will now face Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals.
The night ended in disorder for Madrid. Real Madrid players confronted the referee after the final whistle, and Jude Bellingham was involved as tempers flared. A red card was shown after the match.
Arsenal also advanced to the Champions League semifinals after a draw with Sporting Lisbon. The game at the Emirates was one that will be quickly forgotten, but it was enough to send Arsenal through. Italy defender Riccardo Calafiori was not included in Arsenal’s starting lineup or on the bench for the quarterfinal. Liverpool’s Champions League campaign ended with a 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. The match also brought a major injury blow. Hugo Ekitike suffered a suspected Achilles injury, was taken off on a stretcher, and Arne Slot said the problem looked really bad. Ekitike is expected to miss the World Cup, and reports said he could be out for up to nine months.
Manchester United will be without Harry Maguire for Saturday’s trip to Chelsea after he received an additional one-match ban. The ban was issued after he was sent off and was linked to swearing at an official. United are already without Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt.
