Leading 3-0 from the first leg, Mikel Arteta's side started on the front foot at Santiago Bernabeu and should have gone ahead on the night but Bukayo Saka missed a 13th-minute penalty.

Although Vinicius Jr made it 4-1 on aggregate to give Real Madrid some hope, Gabriel Martinelli put icing on the scoreline with a fine finish in stoppage-time.

After the game, Jesus, who has been out since mid-January with an Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury, took to social media to praise his Arsenal colleagues for beating Real Madrid.

In an Instagram story, Jesus said: "Well done boys. [clapping hands emoji, flexed biceps emoji]"

Jesus has always seemed supportive around the Arsenal squad even when he has been out injured. The 28-year-old last featured during the FA Cup third round defeat against Manchester United in January and is not expected to return until at least the start of next season.

For now, the Brazilian will have to watch Arsenal from afar as they bid to win the Champions League. The Gunners face Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final of the competition.

When asked if the Gunners can go from challengers to winners, Arteta added: "It's certainly another massive step.

"Where we finished last year and the way we're doing it this year, the teams with their eyes on us and the competition, it's incredible. Big credit to [Madrid], it was my first time as a coach in that dugout and today I realised after three minutes in this stadium, anything is possible.

"They are specialists of creating such chaos and belief, and it's very difficult to understand really what's going on in the game and have certain certainty about how we controlled it. I think they showed a lot of maturity."

Saka, meanwhile, believes that Arsenal can win Europe's top-tier competition. He told TNT Sports: "We felt comfortable. We are quite good when we get into a low block. It took a lot of running but we managed to do it."

And asked if the Gunners can win the tournament this year, he added: "Yes. I like to believe that."
