Arsenal crushed Real Madrid 3-0 Tuesday night, putting them close to reaching the Champions League semi-finals. They'll take this huge advantage to Spain next week for the second match. Declan Rice scored twice from amazing free-kicks that goalkeeper Courtois couldn't stop. Mikel Merino added another goal near the end, finding the bottom corner from outside the penalty area.

Arsenal fans are worried that Rice, Timber, plus Martinelli might receive yellow cards because they already had two each before the game. Another booking would have banned them from playing in Madrid next Wednesday. All three managed to avoid cautions during the victory. Only Thomas Partey received a yellow card, meaning he also faces suspension risk for the next match.

Any player receiving a yellow card next week would miss the first semi-final game if Arsenal advances. The good news - all bookings disappear after the quarter-finals finish. Players cannot miss the final because of yellow cards. They would only miss the championship match if they received a red card during semi-finals or commit violent acts during the first semi-final game.
