The UEFA Showdown: Arsenal Vs Real Madrid

By on April 1, 2025

ARSENAL

The UEFA has been nothing short of spectacular. We have seen world-class talent go at it and with the tournament going into the quarterfinal, we can expect to see an epic battle. 

Arsenal have actually outdone themselves to reach this far in this competition. While they may be out of the Premier League title race, they are still in the Champions League. Read on to see if  they might be able to be the better team when they battle Real Madrid.

Squad Updates

Arsenal have suffered for a better part of the season thanks to their injury list. From key players like Gabriel Jesus, who has a knee injury that puts him out till further detail to Takehiro Tomiyasu, who is suffering from the same injury.

With key player Bukayo Saka coming back from a knee injury incurred last year, he may very well increase Arsenal’s odds of winning. 

As for Real Madrid, players like Dani Ceballos, Dani Caravajal, and Eder Militao are all benched this season due to different injuries. 

Previous Performances 

For a very long time, Real Madrid has been the champions of the UEFA Champions League. They hold the record for the most winning streaks in the history of the game. Arsenal, on the other hand, hasn’t been that lucky. 

When betting on sites like Betway, such information is crucial and very vital in helping you know which team to bet on and utilize the betway register to jump in the action. If you go by historical terms, Real Madrid is more likely to win. Given the impressive squad with the frontline featuring Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Junior, and Jude Bellingham, they are well poised for success in this tournament. 

Tactical Presets

Ever since Mikel Arteta came to Arsenal, we have seen their gameplay radically improve. They are now a full attacking team and often use the 4-3-3 tactic. 

In some instances, Thomas Partey and Declan Rice play as defensive midfielders in a 4-2-3-1 formation. As for the Merengues, they use the 4-4-2 formation, ensuring the midfield is excellent.

With these two different approaches, we can be sure that the match is going to be full of creativity as both sides try to create chances. With Mikel Arteta looking to redeem Arsenal’s name, Ancelotti has no intention of taking any prisoners.

Since this is going to be a first leg and second leg, we are going to rule out home advantage. Playing this game in this fashion gives both sides a chance to showcase their best potential at their stadium where they feel most comfortable with their fan support.

Final Thoughts 

As the UEFA Champions League goes into the quarterfinals, Arsenal and Real Madrid are going to face each other, and it is going to be spectacular. With Arsenal trying to hoist a cup they never won VS. The undisputed record holders Real Madrid that seek another title to their name, it is going to be a real thrill.
