Real Madrid vs Arsenal, 1st Leg

1. Arsenal have struggled against aggressive teams this season but Real Madrid gave them too much time and space and the Gunners obligingly tore them apart tonight. A fully deserved 1-0 win...it could have been more.

2. That's it! The final whistle blows and Arsenal become the first English team to beat Real Madrid at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.

3. 90'

   Beckham crosses from the right. Arsenal are caught short in defence but luckily Ronaldo can't make contact with the cross at the far post.

4. 90'

   Toure heads Zidane's cross as far as the half-way line. Henry picks up the ball and heads to the corner flag. More time ticks away.....

5. 90'

   Fabregas fools Baptista with a drop of the shoulder and buys some valuable space and time for his team.

6. 89'

   Flamini blocks a Beckham cross from the right with his hand. Beckham takes the freekick himself and Lehmann punches clear.

7. 88'

   The game restarts and now Eboue is rolling around injured. The ref hasn't given a foul for the challenge from Zidane however.

8. 87'

   The Arsenal keeper took a few blows as he claimed the ball and needs some treatment. More valuable time slips away....

9. 86'

   Beckham's freekick is perfect but Ramos can't decide whether to head it or kick it and in the end it bounces off his stomach and into Lehmann's grasp.

10. 85'

    Baptista wins a freekick off Diaby.....a good chance for Beckham to deliver a cross from this.

11. 84'

    Pires breaks down the right. He cuts inside but has no support so attempts a shot from a tight angle. Casillas has it covered.

12. 83'

    Ramos lofts the ball into the box as Real run out of ideas. Lehmann collects and a few more seconds tick away.

13. 82'

    Zidane drives down the flank but can't get past young Fabregas, who has had an excellent game.

14. 81'

    The Gunners look a little tired but they only have ten minutes to hang on.

15. 80'

    The ball squirms to Diaby on the edge of the box, he tries to steer it past Casillas with his first touch but is thwarted.

16. 79'

    Arsenal make another change. Reyes goes off to much booing and Diaby replaces him.

17. 78'

    Eboue holds off Raul, who doesn't like his phsyical style and complains to the ref. It's all legal says the man in black.

18. 77'

    Pires spots Ljungberg's forward run and sweeps the ball into his path. Casillas rushes out his area to nick the ball off Ljungberg's toes.

19. 76'

    Beckham beats the tiring Flamini but Lehmann rushes off his line to make the save. The Real fans want a penalty but it never is one.

20. 75'

    Real Madrid make an attacking change. Gravesen goes off and Baptista comes on.

21. 74'

    Arsenal make a change. The wasteful Hleb is replaced by Pires.

22. 73'

    Mejia attempts to pull Reyes to his feet. Casillas runs all the way from his goal to give his opinion and gets booked for his trouble. Reyes gets booked too.

23. 72'

    Reyes is hurt on the touchline but Real Madrid are playing on. Arsenal eventually put the ball out and in the meantime Reyes has rolled back onto the pitch.

24. 71'

    Beckham crosses from the right and Senderos is forced to head clear over his own crossbar.

25. 70'

    Reyes picks the ball up in defence, beats three players and is then hacked down in the Real half. The ref only awards a throw.....definately a homer.
