Arsenal are through to the Champions League quarter-finals after thrashing PSV Eindhoven 9-3 on aggregate in the last-16.

And they will not have to face Liverpool in the knockout stages after the Premier League leaders were knocked out by Paris Saint-Germain.

MIkel Arteta’s side became the first away team to score seven goals in a Champions League knockout tie against PSV and will head to Real Madrid next with their route to the final set.

Many Arsenal fans will have had one eye on events in the Spanish capital as Atletico Madrid played holders Real Madrid, in a game that was decided by a controversial shoot-out.

Arsenal were knocked out at the quarter-final stage last year, losing to Bayern Munich 3-2 on aggregate. Let’s see how Arsenal could make the final in Munich on 31 May.

Arsenal will face Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. That’s after a hugely controversial penalty shoot-out win over rivals Atletico. The Gunners will host the first-leg at the Emirates.

Should the Gunners make it to the semi-finals, they will face either PSG or Aston Villa. Arsenal would also host the first-leg.

The final is on 31 May at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Borussia Dortmund are all on the other side of the draw.

Quarter-finals: 8/9 & 15/16 April 2025
