In the first leg, Arsenal won 3-0 against Real Madrid - marking one of the most memorable nights on the Emirates Stadium. This is only the fifth time in Real Madrid history lost the first leg of the Champions League/C1 Cup in the European Cup with three or more differences.
But the second leg of the Champions League at the Bernabeu may hide unexpected scenarios. The other two representatives of England, Man City and Chelsea have experienced this in recent years.
Real's achievement at home when playing in Europe is very impressive. The last time they could not score any goals at the Bernabeu in the Champions League framework since December 2018.
With what was shown in the first leg, the army of coach Mikel Arteta completely deserved to reach the semi -finals. Now they have a great chance to pass the 3rd quarterfinals in history.
Perhaps what caused the Gunners to regret in the first leg was that they did not create a bigger advantage when there were 11 shots on the target, most of the teams confronting Real Madrid in a knockout match-out Champions League.
Arsenal are now unbeaten 9 matches in all competitions. With this form, and the reasonable rejection of the squad last week, the British representative had a good preparation before marching to Madrid. Just add a solid mentality, bravery, the semi -final ticket will be in the hands of Mikel Arteta teachers and students.
Expected squad
Real Madrid: Courtois; Valverde, Asencio, Rudiger, Alaba; Tchouameni, Modric; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius Jr; Mbappe
Arsenal: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Saka, Merino, Martinelli
