Arsenal delivered a historic performance in the Champions League, thrashing PSV Eindhoven 7-1 in their Round of 16 first-leg clash. This dominant display set a new record for the largest away victory in a Champions League knockout match, with six different players scoring. Youngster Ethan Nwaneri also made history as one of the youngest scorers in the competition’s knockout stages.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid secured a narrow 2-1 victory over Atlético Madrid in the Madrid derby. Rodrygo put Madrid ahead, but Julian Alvarez equalized with a stunning strike before Brahim Díaz netted the winner. The result gives Real Madrid a slight advantage heading into the second leg.

Arsenal is all but assured of a quarter-final spot, while the Madrid derby remains finely balanced for the return leg.
