Massive quarter-final first-leg encounter at the Emirates Stadium
A monumental Champions League quarter-final begins tonight at the Emirates Stadium, where Arsenal faces off against the legendary Real Madrid in a highly anticipated first-leg clash. Many consider this Arsenal’s most significant match since their semi-final defeat to Manchester United over 16 years ago, and it marks the biggest test of Mikel Arteta’s managerial career.
The timing is a mix of both good and bad for Arteta and his squad. Bukayo Saka, Arsenal’s star player, is making his first start of the year after recovering from a hamstring injury. However, they have also lost key player Gabriel for the rest of the season due to a similar injury. While Arsenal put nine goals past PSV in the last round without Saka, this is a different caliber of challenge.
Real Madrid will be missing Aurelien Tchouameni, who is suspended, and have six other players at risk of suspension due to yellow cards. However, Thibaut Courtois has been cleared to play. For Arsenal, Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber are one yellow card away from missing the second leg. Follow the action live with our match blog, featuring expert commentary from Simon Collings and Dan Kilpatrick at the Emirates Stadium.
