Preview: Arsenal v Real Madrid

A huge night of Champions League action awaits on Tuesday (8pm UK) as we eye taking a huge step towards a first appearance in the semi-finals since 2009 at the expense of Real Madrid.

Los Blancos will make their first-ever competitive appearance at Emirates Stadium, but while the 15-time winners have beaten 111 teams in the competition’s history, we are not one of them courtesy of our famous last-16 success in the only previous meaningful meetings between the teams.

While we’re looking to reach the final four for just a third time, Madrid’s love affair with the competition sees them looking to make that a reality for the fifth consecutive season.
