Arsenal vs Real Madrid Live: Team News and Women’s Champions League Updates

Arsenal hopes to avoid repetition of these scenes …

The kick -off is quickly approaching the Emirates.

Those who win tonight will play in Lyon for a place in the Lisbon final on Saturday 24 May.

The French side beat Bayern Munich 4-1 in the previous kick to move to the semifinal 6-1 in aggregate.

And an update of the manager of Real Madrid Alberto Toril, speaking to the pre-match press conference:

“We know it will be a difficult game.

“We are against the opposition with a series of strengths. We have the utmost respect for them and despite our good result at the apri, they will certainly be eager to put us under pressure in front of their fans.

“We are ready to put on a good display and manage the moments of the game well. We must be completely concentrated, with high levels of concentration and trust if we want to arrive.”

“We want to balance us tomorrow,” Slegers said in front of this second crucial leg. “Obviously, we are aware of the threat of Real Madrid, but we know what we must do tomorrow, so we will try to make the right decisions. We have a lot of quality in the team, both from a starting perspective and finishing.

“When we are together with the fans, we are at the best. We can create something magical and they give us that extra advantage. So we really get to the Emirates.”

Renee Slegers’ team returned to win with an impressive 4-0 victory in Liverpool on the weekend and will need a similar performance against the Spanish team.

But Real Madrid will be full of trust after obtaining a first victory ever on European rivals and champions in Barcelona over the weekend, winning 3-1.

The kick -off is at 20:00 at the Emirates.

This is the sixteenth quarter -final of the Arsenal Uwcl and the opening leg in Spain was their first defeat of the countryside, after the Gunners won five of their six group games and retained one to end up above Bayern Munich, Juventus and Valerenga.

This gave them the advantage of a second leg of the house and will need all the support of the crowd of the Emirates to overturn a deficit of two goals and advance to the semifinals for the eighth time.

But they could also hope that the pressure of the situation will arrive at Real Madrid, which appears only in their second quarter in competition and has never reached the last four.
