Bukayo Saka’s put Arsenal in front in the 65th minute to give Madrid an even bigger mountain to climb before Ancelotti’s side quickly pulled level when Vinicius Junior capitalised on a mistake from William Saliba to score.
Arsenal will now play Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final, while in the other Champions League semi-final tie, Barcelona will meet Inter.
In an interview with Movistar after Arsenal’s win, Arteta said of Ancelotti: ‘He’s been very affectionate.
‘He has told me that he hopes we win it and that he is happy for us.’
Meanwhile, Ancelotti’s future as Madrid’s head coach is now in doubt following the club’s elimination from the Champions League.
Asked after the game if he believes he has taken charge of his final Champions League match with Madrid, Ancelotti replied: ‘It can happen, if the club decides to change.
‘There is no problem at all. The day I finish here, I can only do one thing, thank the club. If my contract ends or not, I don’t care.’
