European champions Real Madrid now face a daunting challenge after their unexpected 3-0 defeat to Arsenal, yet hope glimmers from recent victories and timely recoveries.
Real Madrid suffered a shocking 3-0 loss away to Arsenal in the first leg of this UEFA Champions League quarter-final. Nevertheless, they managed a narrow 1-0 triumph over Alavés last weekend. Unfortunately, that win lost some of its shine because Kylian Mbappé received a red card during the first half.
Moreover, the attacker can feature in the upcoming game, which provides a much-needed boost. Real Madrid urgently require every bit of firepower to overturn the deficit. They have a storied history of overturning away defeats in European ties, and this background offers reassurance to their supporters.
Furthermore, the La Liga giants have engineered comebacks on many previous occasions in UEFA competition. However, recent eliminations by Premier League teams have raised concerns about their ability to keep the momentum. Thus, they must stay focused if they want to defy the odds once again.
Meanwhile, Arsenal built on their special first-leg home performance with a 1-1 draw against Brentford. In addition, that result extended their long unbeaten run in competitive matches. Mikel Arteta’s men now dream of reaching their first Champions League semi-final since 2009, which adds an extra layer of excitement.
Additionally, the Gunners displayed impressive determination at the Emirates by dominating much of this tie. They have a strong history of progressing after winning a home first leg, especially when they face La Liga opposition. In fact, their only setbacks against such rivals came when they did not command a significant lead.
On the other hand, the spotlight now falls on key individuals. Vinícius Júnior has shown tremendous form at the Bernabéu by scoring crucial goals after half-time. Similarly, Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard contributed with his timely strikes in recent away matches, including a notable performance on their latest Premier League road trip at Everton.
Finally, a noteworthy defensive statistic highlights Arsenal’s resilience. They have not conceded more than once in any of their recent Champions League away fixtures, and this defensive solidity might prove decisive as the tie unfolds.
