Arsenal v Real Madrid: Match Preview
Arsenal enter tonight's clash following a laboured draw against Everton in their final visit to Goodison Park, a game which stats suggest they could have taken all three points.
But they meet a Real Madrid side in arguably worse form, with just two wins and one clean sheet in their last five outings.
Los Blancos' last La Liga game saw them fall to defeat to 14th-placed Valencia courtesy of a Hugo Duro stoppage-time winner. The match also saw Vinicius Jr – ranked at no.1 in FourFourTwo's list of the best left wingers in the world right now – denied from the penalty spot with a weak first-half strike.
Nevertheless, Mikel Arteta will know better than to underestimate the 15-time Champions League winners; domestic form, or anything else for that matter, rarely stands in Madrid's way when Old Big Ears is on the line.
The Gunners boss will be thankful to have talisman Bukayo Saka back in his armoury after a lengthy lay-off with injury, but he so far has just two substitute appearances since his return.
And, just as one returns, Arsenal lose Gabriel at the other end of the pitch, who would have been vital in attempting to stall the advances of Vini Jr, Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham to name just a few.
Given the hefty challenge in front of them, Arsenal need to ensure they head to Madrid next week still in the two-legged tie, at the very minimum – they'll need luck on their side to get the job done.
