UCL: Real Madrid vs Arsenal; 2024/25; match preview, prediction, team news

Real Madrid vs Arsenal will arguably be the most-watched football match in the world this week when both teams take center stage in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.

Arsenal are coming into this game full of confidence after the 3-0 demolition of Real Madrid at the Emirates when they met in the first leg one week ago. However, the Galacticos will come into this match with a bit of hope based on their history of comebacks when it comes to the Champions League.
