Arsenal XI vs Real Madrid – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Arsenal travel to Real Madrid tonight within touching distance of the Champions League semi-finals.

Mikel Arteta’s side thrashed Real Madrid 3-0 in the first leg of their quarter-final tie last week, with Declan Rice (2) and Mikel Merino on target.

The Gunners are aiming to avoid becoming just the fifth side to exit the Champions League after taking a three-goal lead into the second leg. A first semi-final appearance since 2009 is the prize on offer.

Real Madrid have not given up hope of defending their crown but must produce an extraordinary comeback to progress. The Spanish giants have reached at least the semi-finals in each of the last four campaigns.
