Real Madrid vs Arsenal UEFA Champions League Prediction Match Details
The second leg of the quarterfinal rounds of the Champions League draws its curtains on Wednesday night, with Arsenal set to travel to face Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Can Mikel Arteta's side defend their first leg advantage?
Real Madrid Preview & Form
European Champions Real Madrid have a huge mountain to climb following a shocking 3-0 defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal. Madrid has not been at their best this season, as the Los Blancos have lost two of their last three games. The Los Blancos bounced back from their Champions League defeat at Emirates by narrowly beating Alaves 1-0 in the domestic league to keep their La Liga title challenge alive. Carlo Ancelotti's side's defense has looked shaky in recent games, with Madrid having kept only one clean sheet in the last ten competitive games. They have also gone two consecutive home matches without a victory.
The team trained at Real Madrid City as they begin preparing for the return leg.
Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal displayed a shockingly strong performance in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash by dismantling Real Madrid 3-0 at Emirates Stadium thanks to Declan Rice's sublime brace of free kicks. The Gunners then followed their unforgettable midweek night with a 1-1 draw against Brentford at the Emirates Stadium in the domestic league. The North Londoners side are now 13 points behind league leader Liverpool with eight games to play. In the Champions League, Mikel Arteta's side are undefeated in the last seven games, and they would need to prove a point at Santiago Bernabeu to eye the last four of the competition.
But since then, the footballing world has been wondering if a three-goal cushion is enough for Arsenal.
