Sure! Here’s the paragraph-by-paragraph paraphrase with all non-quoted parts reworded while keeping the quoted parts untouched:

Following a stretch of highly notable displays of mental strength, Real Madrid were defeated 1-2 at home at the Bernabeu in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, which resulted in Arsenal knocking them out with an overall score of 5-1. Arsenal, at moments, chose to go on the offensive rather than sit back, and they recorded twice the number of shots on target compared to Real Madrid.

Though they put in significant effort, Real Madrid couldn’t manage to score during the first half and didn’t manage a single shot on goal. In the second half, the team began to display signs of frustration, leading to tackles that were more forceful than necessary—particularly sliding challenges from Jude Bellingham and Lucas Vasquez—which led the referee to issue warnings.

At the 60-minute mark, Antonio Rudiger went so far as to intentionally step on Lewis-Skelly’s stomach after shoving the young Arsenal player to the ground. Prior to that, Lewis-Skelly had made a fearless run from his own side, and no Real Madrid defender could stop him. Astonishingly, Rudiger was not penalized for dragging him down, and both the referee and the VAR officials failed to act on the German defender’s clearly intentional misconduct.

It came as a shock that Rudiger avoided receiving a yellow card for this incident. He only ended up being booked near the end of the game due to an altercation away from play involving Thomas Partey. The act of stomping the stomach was even more overt than Kylian Mbappe’s recent reckless challenge on Alaves’ Antonio Blanco.

But the unsportsmanlike behavior extended beyond the field. Dani Carvajal wasn’t listed as part of the matchday squad, yet he entered the technical zone and made an attempt to antagonize Bukayo Saka. Initially, he seemed amicable and approached Saka, only to suddenly seize the Arsenal forward by the neck.

Even if Carvajal had been an active squad member, he wouldn’t have been permitted on the pitch today, let alone physically touch an opposing player. Since he wasn’t officially registered to participate, Carvajal was simply a regular spectator and should have been treated as such. Stadium officials should have promptly removed him from the area.
