In one corner, it\u2019s Barcelona v. Inter Milan. In the other, it\u2019s Paris Saint-Germain against&#8230;whoever emerged victorious in the Real Madrid &#8211; Arsenal tie, which had the Gunners up 3-nil after the opening leg last week in No. London. The Madrilenos would need to score at least four more goals than The Arsenal this evening at The Bernabeu. That did not happen, with The Arsenal actually increasing their aggregate margin, 5-1, after tonight\u2019s 2-1 away win. So, then, it\u2019s your No. London Arse completing the 2025 UEFA Champions League semifinal brackets. The night\u2019s first goal can be seen at the 6:30 mark, with the clincher coming at 10:06. #COYG Come on, you Gunners!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Three tonight via <strong>Evangeline
