The European champion did not take advantage of the fear of the "Bernabeu", and without a game there are no miracles - this is the cover of Madrid's "Marca" that best describes the Champions League quarter-final second leg between Real and Arsenal.

A cover that perhaps best speaks of the superiority of the London club...

Mikel Arteta's team was not intimidated by the legends associated with Real Madrid's stadium and many previous miracles, the "Gunners" went to the famous temple of football and after a 3-0 defeat of the Islanders, they "dethroned the king" and won in his fortress 2-1.

Much has been written about Arsenal's confidence in recent seasons, after all, they would finish the Premier League in second place for the third year in a row, but this time everything was different.

"You are now gunners, believe us," writes "Star Sport".

"The Mirror" has an even better message for this Arsenal.

"Guns and Rosy" - a play on words with the legendary rock group "Guns N' Roses", and is about the "gunners" who have a bright future.

"Telegraf" and "I sport" have the same message.

"The Real deal", literally translated as "The Real Thing", of course through a play on words related to Real.

Another Madrid newspaper, "As", also emphasized that Carlo Ancelotti's team was nowhere near a miracle this time.

"It was just a dream."

On the other hand, the Catalan "Mundo Deportivo" emphasizes.

"And without the Champions League, and without Kylian Mbappe," recalling that the French striker was injured during the second leg and may not play against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final, but he will not be present in key matches in La Liga either.

Ancelotti: I don't know if it's the end and I don't want to know

Journalists were also interested in whether this match marked the end of the era of the great Carlo Ancelotti on the Real Madrid bench, the man who brought the royal club three Champions League trophies.

"I don't know if this was my last match on the Real Madrid bench in the Champions League, and I don't want to know. A fantastic era is behind us, and there are still many more to come this season - La Liga, the Copa del Rey, the Club World Cup," said the legendary Italian.

Heroj Rais: When I arrived, I felt that the club was on an upward trajectory

His bombs in the first match paved the way for Arsenal to the semi-finals, and Declan Rice won the MVP award for his performance in both quarter-final matches.

Two years ago he arrived from West Ham for 100 million, there were many who doubted that transfer, but now everything has come to light.

"I felt everything when I signed for Arsenal, I felt that the club was on an upward trajectory. I also feel that we can do special things in the coming years - with this coach and this combination of players," the Arsenal midfielder is clear.

Inter - heart and passion

In addition to Arsenal, Inter also advanced to the semi-finals last night, having beaten Bayern Munich in two matches. Lautaro Martinez and his teammates scored when it mattered, always had an answer to the Bavarians' attacks, and knew how to defend when needed.

"The heart of Inter, now it's Barça's turn," is the cover of "Gazzetta dello Sport", with the famous "Amala" from the "neraza" anthem.

"Bye Bayern," greeted "Corriere dello Sport" to the Bavarian giant from "Meace".

Tutosport perhaps best describes this Inter.

"A team that makes you shiver and awakens passion."

Inter will play Barcelona in the semi-finals, while Arsenal is expected to clash with Paris Saint-Germain.
