Arsenal hopes of winning the Carabao Cup have been dashed after they lost to Newcastle in the semi-finals. The Gunners were unable to overturn a 2-0 deficit from the first leg, and despite their best efforts, they couldn’t find a way to break down the Newcastle defense. This loss marks their third defeat against Newcastle this season, and it’s a tough pill to swallow for Mikel Arteta’s side. Despite this, the team will have to regroup and focus on their upcoming matches, including their Premier League campaign, where they are just six points behind Liverpool’s Red who still have a game in hand.
Real Madrid left it late to proceed in the Copa del Rey, but they managed to advance to the semi-finals thanks to a late strike from 20-year-old striker Gonzalo Garcia. The team was facing Leganes and took a two-goal lead, but Leganes refused to give up and scored two goals to level the match. However, Garcia’s late goal handed Madrid the win, and they will now move on to the semi-finals.
Bayer Leverkusen has made an incredible comeback in the DFB Pokal, turning the game around after being down 2-0 against Cologne. Cologne took the lead just before halftime through a powerful low shot by Downs and doubled their lead in the second half with a well-executed counterattack finished by Maina. However, Leverkusen refused to give up, and their determination paid off when Wirtz showed his exceptional skill, assisting Schick for a crucial goal that reignited their hopes. Schick scored again in the 6th minute of added time, and the game went into extra time. In the 98th minute, Grimaldo delivered an inch-perfect cross that Victor Boniface converted with a composed finish, securing a remarkable comeback for Leverkusen.
