Who else is folding arms and believing Real Madrid to eliminate Arsenal from the UEFA Champions League this season? Well we should give Gunners every benefit of the doubt as we've already given Real Madrid from the very starts of the UCL. Carlo Ancelotti is centered on capitalizing his goal and that's winning the UCL trophy for side.
While Mikel Arteta faces an elite side equipped enough to be the leading club in UCL, he wouldn't back down rather he will exerts more energy towards bringing on tactical changes and improving his squad interms of performance, let's see what he gets to offer for his side in UCL.
We have to accept that as an opponent, Arsenal will be somewhat difficult for Real Madrid, but even if we accept that, we have to accept that if there is a competition between these two teams, then surely Real Madrid should be ahead of Arsenal. There is no doubt that Real Madrid is one of the best football clubs in the world and with the players that Real Madrid currently has, it is certainly possible to create a formidable team. But in some cases the manager is unfortunate that some of his key players are out of the field due to injury problems. If Real Madrid had gone to the field against Arsenal with a 100% fit team then Arsenal would have had no chance of winning against Real Madrid. The first leg match is important for both teams so Real Madrid will definitely want to leave the field with a win in the first leg so that they don't have to take extra pressure in the second leg. I would put Real Madrid ahead of Arsenal for this match but the game will end up being a tough contest.
