Mikel Arteta hails 'one of the best nights of my career' after Arsenal topple Real Madrid - and jokes he 'wanted to SLAP' Bukayo Saka after Panenka penalty miss

Mikel Arteta lauded a landmark night for Arsenal as they dethroned the kings of Europe to reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2009.

The Gunners had a 3-0 advantage against Real Madrid from the quarter-final first leg but last night, in front of a raucous Bernabeu crowd, Bukayo Saka had an audacious chipped penalty saved after 13 minutes.

Then, Real were awarded a spot-kick of their own soon after, Kylian Mbappe having fell to the ground under minimal contact from Declan Rice.
