Arsenal heads to the Santiago Bernabéu with a commanding 3-0 lead over Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg. The Gunners aim to secure their first semi-final appearance since the 2008/09 season.
Real Madrid faces several challenges, with key players like Éder Militão, Dani Carvajal, and Ferland Mendy sidelined due to injuries. Eduardo Camavinga is suspended, but Aurelien Tchouaméni returns to bolster the midfield. Kylian Mbappé, despite a recent domestic red card, is available and expected to start alongside Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham.
Arsenal’s squad sees the return of Thomas Partey and Ben White, while Jorginho remains out due to injury. Manager Mikel Arteta is likely to field a midfield trio of Partey, Declan Rice, and Martin Ødegaard.
The match is set to kick off at 8 PM BST on April 16, 2025, with both teams vying for a spot in the semi-finals.
