<p>Bellingham created Champions League history and equalled Casillas' record on Wednesday when he took to the field for Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final fixture against Arsenal at Santiago Bernabeu. He appeared in the Champions League for the 47th time in his career, the most for a player aged 21 or below. Yet it ended up being a tough night for Bellingham as Madrid were dumped out of the tournament.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">47 - Jude Bellingham is making his 47th appearance in the UEFA Champions League tonight, equalling the most by a player aged 21 or under in the competition’s history (level with Iker Casillas, 47). Leader. <a href="https://t.co/GdUBew3ysq">pic.twitter.com/GdUBew3ysq</a></p>— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) <a href="https://twitter.com/OptaJoe/status/1912566297306480890?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 16, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Gunners carried a 3-0 lead to Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and were handed a glorious chance to extend that advantage in the opening stages of the second leg. After Raul Asencio clipped Mikel Merino's legs from behind inside the area, a penalty was awarded to the visitors, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/penalty-chaos-bernabeu-fans-meltdown-bukayo-saka-panenka-kylian-mbappe-spot-kick-ruled-out-six-minute-var-check/blt50fed2951ba478d0#csbf87518d81b3a501" target="_blank">Bukayo Saka's weak shot was comfortably parried away by Thibaut Courtois</a>. Soon after the penalty miss, Madrid thought they had a chance to equalise when Kylian Mbappe went down inside the Arsenal box after a challenge from Declan Rice. The referee initially booked the Gunners midfielder and awarded a penalty, but VAR overturned the decision.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Injured Los Blancos defender <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/video-bukayo-saka-ugly-touchline-clash-dani-carvajal-injured-real-madrid-veteran-issue-arsenal-star/blt15e3a358bf40fe0a#cs8cab171462ab6bcf" target="_blank">Dani Carvajal was spotted clashing with Saka</a> as the Arsenal winger headed into the tunnel at half-time at the Bernabeu. The Spaniard approached Saka near the tunnel, and he seemed to be hassling the Three Lions star in an ugly confrontation.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>After sealing a spot in the Champions League last-four stage against PSG, Mikel Arteta's side will be back in action in the Premier League on Saturday as they face relegation-threatened Ipswich Town in a must-win clash. Meanwhile, Bellingham and Madrid must attempt to bounce back in La Liga against Athletic Club on Sunday.</p>
