Despite putting nine past PSV Eindhoven in the last 16, Arsenal’s lack of cutting edge is clear for all to see. That was highlighted once again at the weekend as they struggled to create chances in the 1-1 draw with Everton. However, manager Mikel Arteta’s team selection showed he had one eye on Madrid, with Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard both starting on the bench. The duo will come back into the starting line-up and will be crucial to Arsenal’s attack.
Real Madrid needed penalties to get past city rivals Atletico Madrid in the last-16 and did suffer a 2-1 defeat to Valencia at the weekend. Carlo Ancelotti’s side may not be sweeping all in front of them but they come alive at this stage of the competition. In fact, the last time they were knocked out at this stage was in 2004. Defensively there are issues, but they have some serious firepower and will be confident of breaking down an Arsenal defence without the injured Gabriel.
Can Arsenal gain the advantage at home? Or will Madrid have the upper hand going into the second leg? Tune in to find out.
