Arsenal beat Real Madrid 0-0 in 2nd Leg Arsenal win 1-0 on aggregate on Wednesday, March 8, 2006 at Highbury.

Play by play

  1. 90'

    A young team has shown an ageing bunch of ailing stars just how it's done. They cared more. Simple as that. And Real Madrid's galactico era has ended as a sham.

  2. 90'

    As good a 0-0 as there can be sees Arsenal into the quarter-finals. Real Madrid potless for three years again. Arsenal's hopes of Euro glory are alive. And they will carry England's hopes too.

  3. 90'

    One more chance to get it in. Beckham looks casual in chipping in. That's because he knows that's it. The whistle blows.

  4. 90'

    Hoofed in again. Headed away. Cassano flits out right. Slotted in for Baptista. His shot is low. Lehmann saves down low.

  5. 90'

    The fans are singing their hearts out. They know it's over.

  6. 90'

    Free-kick and a chance to breathe for Arsenal.

  7. 90'

    But nothing doing. Into stoppage time. Real are minutes away from going three years without anything.

  8. 90'

    Casillas up for the corner. He doesn't get there. And Pires can run away. His shot is stopped on the line by Roberto Carlos. And then Real charge up the other end.

  9. 89'

    Cassano hammers in a cross. No-one chasing it in. Senderos nearly obliges.

  10. 88'

    Long hoofs the order of the day for Real Madrid. It's a lack of ideas for them.

  11. 87'

    And Liverpool go out! 2-0 to Benfica!

  12. 87'

    Arsenal are heading for glory here. Real look out of ideas. Cassano tries to chase back.

  13. 86'

    Bergkamp on for Hleb, who has run his heart out. Perhaps his best game for Arsenal.

  14. 85'

    Raul Bravo hacks down Hleb. And then makes it worse by trying to get the Belarussian up. He's booked and Hleb takes an age anyway.

  15. 84'

    Beckham takes an age with it. And it's cleared by the first man. A poor night for Beckham so far.

  16. 83'

    He gets booked for a kick on Casillas too. Robinho on for Salgado.

  17. 82'

    Beckham again takes a poor free-kick. Arsenal break. Fabregas flails. Then it comes away with Baptista. Henry ends up with it after another Real midfield breakdown. But he can't do anything.

  18. 81'

    Free-kick chance. Taken short for Carlos. For some reason. Ljungberg is brave and blocks. Shades of Alan Smith but thankfully no injury.

  19. 79'

    The signs are he'll continue.

  20. 78'

    Henry probing out left. But concedes a free-kick. Beckham away on the right. Flamini fouls him for a free-kick. Henry is down. Play-acting? Playing for time? Or injured?

  21. 77'

    Henry's turn to shoot again. Easier to deal with for Real. They clear.

  22. 77'

    Beckham again drifts a ball out. His delivery of the ball has been poor most of the evening.

  23. 76'

    Casillas comes out. He's been superb tonight. He stopped Henry in his tracks.

  24. 76'

    Henry again fires in. A wonderful dipping shot ebbs away from goal. Great attempt. No goal though.

  25. 74'

    Arsenal may rue chances like that. All hands to the pump from them. Cassano flips over a ball to Beckham. He heads across and Lehmann collects. A waste from the England skipper.
