Arsenal is in for a real game of Champions League here, I think i have to go with the bookies here, Madrid is the better team here and are expected to win this game, I still do not understand were this game will be won by Arsenal by Arsenal, Arsenal have been a good team in the Premier League two seasons ago, but this season they have not be lucky with injuries, Gabriel out from the midfield is a grate miss from them, The Midfield would be a grate game of play in the fixture,
Real Madrid are well placed in all position to win this game, from the Defense, Midfield, and attack , Marid have a stronger firepower in attack, Arsenal have no Striker, I will be anticipating what Arteta has to come up with here, I do not expect Arteta to sit back and take the pressure, but it will be an open game. It should be an all attacking game.
You have to go with the bookies and then you say you go with Real Madrid, but the bookies see Arsenal as the favorite.
You think they have been a good team two seasons ago and it is true that they had more points by the same time of the season, but they stil have only lost three games this season so far in the Premier League and you should take into account that they are so far behind Liverpool, that I think they have given up on that title a while ago. Like not entirely given up, but they were being realistic about it.
But by no means would I underestimate them in the Champions League. There is no reason to do so. When the second from the Premier League is your opponent, everyone knows it is gonna be hard.
