Three Real Madrid stars called out for 'no sign of life' in Spanish press dismantling of Arsenal humbling: 'Tragedy in London'... 'A shipwreck'... 'Humiliation'

The Spanish press have let rip at Real Madrid after their 3-0 defeat by Arsenal in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.

The Gunners put in a brilliant display on Tuesday against an out-of-sorts Real, with two sensational Declan Rice free-kicks and a third strike from Mikel Merino securing the victory.

It was a major blow for Carlo Ancelotti's side and, while they have been known for pulling off several European miracles in the past, they face an extremely tough task to overturn the deficit at the Bernabeu next week.
