Arsenal FC - Real Madrid – Champions League

The Champions League quarter-final Arsenal FC - Real Madrid promises to be extremely interesting. It is difficult to clearly indicate a favorite - the table and history speak in favor of Arsenal, but Real is the winner of the previous edition of the competition, and recent matches have shown that they are seriously thinking about defending the title.

Arsenal finished the Champions League group stage in 3rd place, which gave them direct promotion to the round of 16. There, they gave PSV Eindhoven no chance, knocking out the Dutch team in the first match (on their opponent's pitch) 7:1! The rematch was a calm 2:2 draw, which was enough to continue playing. Also in the Premier League, Arsenal is still in the lead – Liverpool is rather out of reach, but second place is still realistic.

Real Madrid is also currently in 2nd place in the La Liga table, second only to their eternal rival, FC Barcelona (and the difference is small enough that a lot can still change before the end of the season). In the Champions League, after the group stage, Real finished 11th and had to play in the round of 16, where they defeated another English team – Manchester City – 3:2 away and 3:1 at home. The round of 16, on the other hand, was an amazing two-legged match with their local rival - Atlético Madrid – decided in favor of Real only after penalties.

The last time we could watch Arsenal FC - Real Madrid in the Champions League was in 2006 – Arsenal won once, and there was a draw once. Later meetings were more friendly – Arsenal won the Emirates Cup in 2008, and Real won the International Champions Cup in 2019.

As a curiosity, let's add that the same pair met this year in the Women's Champions League. Arsenal's players advanced to the semi-finals, defeating Real Madrid 3:2 on aggregate (although Real entered the rematch with a 2:0 advantage).
