After our excellent display last week against Real Madrid, we take a 3-0 lead to the iconic Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday (8pm UK), leaving the prospect of a third-ever Champions League semi-final in our history tantalisingly close.
Declan Rice’s two free-kicks and a well-taken finish from Mikel Merino will live long in Arsenal folklore, but they’ll only throw in immortality should we finish the job in the Spanish capital. You have to go back to the 1980s for the last time Madrid overcame such a deficit to advance in Europe, but having scored in every home game in the Champions League since 2018, the holders will still fancy their chances of a comeback.
