Champions League matches are always harder to predict, as you’re just not sure how two teams from different leagues will react to one another. This iteration of Arsenal is unproven at this level, whilst there is a chaos about Real Madrid this season which means you’re never too sure which team will show up
This is usually when things click into place for Real Madrid and the injury to Gabriel Magalhaes is a big factor, as Mikel Arteta clearly doesn’t trust many defenders in the squad beyond Gabriel and William Saliba.
The home team are dangerous in attack and will almost certainly score, but the nouse of Real Madrid and the sheer firepower Los Blancos have in attack means they could take a narrow lead back to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
Winner: Real Madrid
