Coach Ancelotti still has a contract with Real Madrid until June 2026. He has no intention of leaving. Meanwhile, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has invited him to lead the national team towards the 2026 World Cup.
Real Madrid's 1-2 defeat to Arsenal was disappointing. Meanwhile, everyone hoped that coach Ancelotti would help his team come back and reverse the 0-3 loss in the first leg. In the end, Real Madrid started the match in a hurry. The attacking trio of Jude Bellingham, Vinicius and Mbappe played poorly, causing the Bernabeu team to not score an early goal as expected.
In the first half, Real Madrid even almost fell behind when Arsenal striker Saka missed a penalty. Real Madrid were then awarded a penalty in the 23rd minute, but the referee and VAR eventually refused. UEFA announced that the penalty was overturned, because Declan Rice (Arsenal) did not commit a foul in the dispute with Mbappe.
Unable to score in the first half, the pressure on Real Madrid players made them lose their form. An incident happened after the first half ended, defender Carvajal had an inappropriate action with Saka, causing controversy. This also shows the pressure that Real Madrid players are under.
Finally the worst happened, Arsenal players played with more relaxed spirit, scoring the opening goal in the 65th minute by Saka. Vinicius equalized just 2 minutes later. However, everything could not be changed because of the huge score difference that Arsenal players were holding (4-1 on aggregate) at that time.

At the end of the match, Martinelli scored the winning goal 2-1 for Arsenal in the 90+3 minute. Thereby, winning the final score 5-1 to get a ticket to the semi-finals to meet PSG.
Arsenal also showed that they are truly Real Madrid's nemesis, when they have faced this opponent a total of 5 times and are undefeated (4 wins in the Champions League, and 1 draw in a friendly match).
Meanwhile, in the remaining quarter-final match, Bayern Munich was held to a 2-2 draw by Inter Milan, losing 3-4 overall and being eliminated.
Striker Harry Kane contributed 1 goal with Dier, but it was not enough for Bayern Munich to overturn the 1-2 first leg deficit. Because Lautaro Martinez and Pavard scored important goals for Inter Milan to draw and secure a place in the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, Inter Milan met Barcelona.
Accordingly, the Champions League semi-finals include the first leg between Arsenal and PSG on April 30, Barcelona and Inter Milan on May 1. The second leg between PSG and Arsenal on May 8, and Inter Milan and Barcelona on May 7 (both at 2:00 a.m., Vietnam time).
