Real Madrid vs Arsenal LIVE!

The most successful club in Champions League history know it is ‘remontada’ or bust tonight as they look to overcome a thumping three-goal first-leg deficit to reach the semi-finals. It is the Gunners’ task tonight to complete the job and reach the final four in this competition in almost two decades. One foot in the semi-finals? Not with Madrid at the Bernabeu.

Madrid have never overturned a three-goal deficit but no team in history has come back from more two-goal first-leg losses. They will have to be at their very best to even have a sniff tonight, as Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta decides whether to stick or twist regarding his tactical setup. One goal from the Gunners surely kills to tie, or is it best to sit in and frustrate?

Carlo Ancelotti has bettered the likes of Manchester City and Chelsea in recent seasons back in Madrid. Can the unthinkable happen and Arsenal be added to that bedpost? Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Simon Collings at Santiago Bernabeu.
