The Premier League is surely out of the grasp of Mikel Arteta's men now, but they harbour genuine ambitions of going all the way in Europe. As for Real Madrid, they need no introduction in this competition as the record winners and current holders of this famous tournament.

Real Madrid and Arsenal meet for just the third time in their history. A place in the UEFA Champions League semifinals is on the line.

The two sides have only met once in competitive action before and that was in the round of 16 stage back in 2006. Arsenal won 1-0 in Madrid thanks to Thierry Henry, who scored the only goal of the game and it turned out to be the only goal of the tie as they battled to a goalless draw in the return leg at Highbury.
