Arsenal is set for a monumental clash against Real Madrid, the Champions League defending champions, in the UCL quarterfinals. This game is expected to test Mikel Arteta’s side mettle, as they are favorites to be knocked out by the Spanish juggernaut. Stadium Rant reviews the reasons why Arsenal can pull off the impossible and seal an inspired victory on Tuesday night.

Arsenal’s Stellar Champions League Home Record

The North London giants have a good home record in the Champions League, which has seen the club record many historic victories in front of their fans. Real Madrid is a formidable opponent that will give the Gunners a run for their money, but Arsenal is a different beast at the Emirates.

The Return Of Bukayo Saka

Arsenal talisman Bukayo Saka was out injured for three months with a hamstring injury and made his long-awaited return in the victory over Fulham. His return galvanized the squad, and his match-winning goal sent the Emirates into raptures.

With Saka back in contention, the Gunners have a great chance of securing the victory over Real Madrid, as the star boy will provide firepower to secure victory.

All Eggs Are In The Champions League Basket

Arsenal has had a questionable Premier League title campaign this season. In the last two previous campaigns, they pushed Manchester City to the edge but fell short. This year, while they’re also in second and essentially guaranteed another shot at the Champions League, they find themselves way behind Liverpool with only 7 matches left. With the Gunners also crashing out of domestic competitions early in the season, the Champions League is the only shot at silverware this season.

Arsenal’s last trophy was in 2020, which is not where a team of their class is supposed to be. A win against Real Madrid will pave the way for a trophy that eluded this team.

End Of Arsenal Rant

This is expected to be a tough game for Mikel Arteta’s side, but they have the right quality to earn a monumental victory against Real Madrid.
