Real Madrid host Arsenal at home in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Arsenal surprisingly won the first leg in London 3-0, leaving the Spaniards facing a serious challenge to progress.
Team performance
Real Madrid:
The Royal Guard suffered an unexpectedly heavy defeat in the first match, a rare event in the club's history. In the last round of La Liga, they won 1-0 against Alavés, but Kylian Mbappé received a red card, which means he will be suspended for the league, but will be able to play in the Champions League.
Arsenal:
The Gunners are in excellent form, winning 3-0 in the first leg with two free kicks from Declan Rice and a goal from Mikel Merino. They last drew 1-1 with Brentford in the Premier League.
Important missing items
Real Madrid:
- Eduardo Camavinga is suspended and cannot play.
- Dani Carvajal, Éder Militão and Ferland Mendy are missing due to injury.
- Goalkeeper Andriy Lunin is questionable due to a muscle injury.
Arsenal:
- Gabriel Magalhães, Kai Havertz, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Gabriel Jesus are unavailable due to injury.
- Jorginho did not travel with the team.
- Ben White and Thomas Partey have recovered from their injuries and are available for the match.
Tactical analysis
Real Madrid (expected formation: 4-2-3-1):
Courtois; Valverde, Asencio, Rudiger, Alaba; Tchouameni, Modrić; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius Jr.; Mbappé
Ancelotti will likely field an attacking-minded team to overcome the deficit.
Arsenal (expected formation: 4-3-3):
Raya; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Partey, Rice, Ødegaard; Saka, Merino, Martinelli
Arteta will likely rely on solid defense and quick counterattacks.
Weather conditions
Madrid is expected to have pleasant, spring-like weather during the match, with temperatures around 18°C and light winds. Precipitation is unlikely, so the weather will not significantly affect the game.
