Despite missing a host of key players last week and considered underdogs for the tie overall, two outstanding free-kicks from Declan Rice and another goal from emergency striker Mikel Merino completed a memorable night for the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium.

The task now facing Mikel Arteta’s side is to get the job done against a Real Madrid side that are expected to give a better account for themselves in front of their own supporters.

Kylian Mbappe has refused to give up on progression and Jude Bellingham has warned the north London outfit that “crazy” things can happen on a Champions League night at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Eduardo Camavinga is suspended after being sent-off in the closing stages of the first leg last week. His absence should lead to an immediate recall for Aurelien Tchouameni who served a ban of his own at the Emirates Stadium.

Dani Ceballos is available against his former loan club after returning from injury at the weekend, David Alaba should be fine but Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal will watch on from the sidelines.

Arsenal are set to be without Jorginho after the experienced midfielder limped off during the 1-1 draw with Brentford. Mikel Arteta is also sweating on the fitness of Thomas Partey and Ben White before naming a squad for the trip to Spain.

Real Madrid vs Arsenal prediction

If there is any team capable of overturning a three-goal deficit in the Champions League, it’s the 15-time winners of the competition. In recent seasons, Real Madrid have staged some memorable comebacks inside the Santiago Bernabeu, so Arsenal having been warned.

With that said, the Gunners are strong defensively and it seems unlikely they will concede four goals on the night. Furthermore, they showed enough in the first leg to suggest they can breach this uncertain Los Blancos defence to score at least one to take them through.

1-1 draw
