Real Madrid Form
Real Madrid, on the other hand, remain the seasoned warlords of Europe. Despite a nervy last-16 tie against Atletico Madrid, which went down to penalties, Carlo Ancelotti’s men once again found a way, as they so often do in this competition.
Madrid’s record at the quarter-final stage is intimidating—winning 12 straight ties since 2004—and Arsenal will need to channel every ounce of their underdog spirit to break that pattern.
