Real Madrid vs Arsenal: Where to Watch and What’s at Stake in the Champions League Clash
Real Madrid – Arsenal: Where to Watch the Match, Channels and Viewing Options
Real Madrid faces Arsenal this Wednesday at 9:00 PM (Spanish time) in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. Carlo Ancelotti’s side is hoping to overturn a daunting 3-0 deficit and secure a place in what would be their 13th Champions League semifinal in the past 15 years—an incredible statistic that highlights Madrid’s European dominance.
It won’t be an easy task. Arsenal proved their strength and potential last week at the Emirates, dominating Madrid in every aspect of the game. With a stunning brace from Declan Rice—both from direct free kicks—and a goal by Mikel Merino, the Gunners thrashed a lackluster Madrid team whose usual intensity was nowhere to be found. Arsenal even ran nearly 13 kilometers more than their opponents.
While Real Madrid seeks to reaffirm its continental supremacy—with six Champions League titles in the last decade—Arsenal dreams of joining Europe’s elite once again. The English club hasn’t reached the semifinals since 2009, back when Arsène Wenger was at the helm. He stepped down from the Arsenal bench in 2018.
Madrid comes into this crucial encounter after a hard-fought 1-0 win over Deportivo Alavés in La Liga. They managed to secure three points despite Kylian Mbappé receiving a red card in the first half, staying alive in the domestic title race—at least enough to keep pressure on Barcelona, who currently hold a four-point lead.
Arsenal, on the other hand, drew 1-1 with Brentford. While their second place in the Premier League remains fairly secure—they’re six points ahead of Nottingham Forest—they trail Liverpool by 13 points, meaning the English title appears out of reach barring a major collapse from the Reds.
