"Arsenal have now progressed from each of their last 14 Champions League two-legged knockout ties after winning the first leg, a run that dates all the way back to the 2008-09 season."
"Only Lyon (13, as it stands) have reached the last four in this competition on more occasions than the Gunners (nine)."
"Chelsea created the better chances, as suggested by the Blues' 2.52 expected goals to the Gunners' 1.81."
Arsenal's 1-0 loss to Chelsea ended their 11-game winning streak but secured their place in the Champions League semi-finals with a 3-2 aggregate victory. Holding a two-goal advantage from the first leg, Arsenal needed only a draw to advance. Stina Blackstenius had a goal disallowed for offside, while Chelsea pressured throughout the match. Despite several missed opportunities, Chelsea's late goal was insufficient, and Arsenal's resilience allowed them to continue their strong record in knockout ties since 2008-09.
