Arsenal will host Real Madrid at home on 8 April 2025, 20:00, in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final. This is a crucial match for both teams, as the result of the first leg could be decisive in terms of their progress.
Team performance
Arsenal:
Arsenal have had a mixed record of form in recent times. They progressed from the last 16 with a 9-3 aggregate win over PSV Eindhoven, but were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Everton in the Premier League. The Gunners are strong at home, having gone unbeaten in their last 10 Champions League home games, conceding eight goals.
Real Madrid:
Real Madrid arrive in London as the defending Champions League champions. They advanced to the knockout stages on penalties against Atletico Madrid in the round of 16. However, they have been inconsistent in La Liga, most recently losing 2-1 to Valencia.
