One of the most awaited games of the Champions League in the recent history will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu between Real Madrid and Arsenal. The Gunners were considered as underdogs in this competition because, out of all the teams that made it to the quarter finals, it is only Arsenal that has not lifted the Champions League trophy.
Arsenal has the opportunity to make it to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League since 2009. The Gunners will go into the match with an upper hand because they had thrashed their opponents 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium.
Real Madrid will need at least 4 goals to nil for them to directly eliminate Arsenal out of the Champions League. Arsenal has a very strong defence and this is the time that they will be needed to provide yet another heroic performance so that they do not concede very many goals.
Arsenal will still advance to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League even if Real Madrid beat them but they also score goals. The aim of Mikel Arteta should be to make sure that his team also score goals at Santiago Bernabeu.
A draw will also see Arsenal advance to the next stage because just like a win. This is a game that Arsenal should comfortably adjust to because they are not under pressure as opposed to their opponents Real Madrid.
Mikel Arteta should stick to the game plan that he used during the first leg. This will give him a very good opportunity of exploiting the defence of Real Madrid which is also not very solid.
The urge for a Champions League trophy for the first time in history will also drive the Arsenal players because they also want to prove their worth to the world. Mikel Arteta has managed to build a very strong and reliable team and the only remaining thing is that, they lack trophies.
