Real Madrid, meanwhile, suffered a surprise loss to Valencia over the weekend and haven’t looked their sharpest in recent outings. However, Champions League nights is where they are at their best. Carlo Ancelotti’s side has immense depth and star power – even with Jude Bellingham regaining fitness and Thibaut Courtois still sidelined, the likes of Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo and Kylian Mbappé provide relentless attacking threat.
The Emirates has been a fortress for Arsenal this season, but Madrid’s away record in Europe cannot be ignored. Expect goals, quality and moments of individual brilliance – especially with so much on the line.
