Lia Walti and Chloe Kelly

Arsenal booked their place in the Women's Champions League semi-finals with a 3-0 second-leg win over Real Madrid, turning around a 2-0 first-leg deficit in a remarkable comeback. Alessia Russo was the star of the show, scoring twice and having two goals ruled out for offside, while Chloe Kelly grabbed two assists. England forward Mariona Caldentey also found the net during a ruthless second-half display which saw Arsenal score three times in 13 minutes. Renee Slegers' side overturned a two-goal first-leg deficit for the second time in the competition, having done so against Torres in 2004. Former England captain Steph Houghton praised Arsenal's performance, describing them as "outstanding" and "relentless".
