I was thinking the match will be a easy win for Real Madrid in the game, but the two teams didn’t even play anything special in the first half of the match, the first half of the match was just kind of boring to me, before the match started, I was thinking it’s going to be a interesting one, but am just surprised with the way they both performed in the first half of the match. From the way they played in the first half of the match, I won’t really be surprise if the match ends as draw, because they both didn’t play well in the match.
I was thinking Real Madrid will have scored like two goals in the first half of the match, but to my greatest surprise, they created just few chances, and they missed those chances. Real Madrid defense is kind of weak in the match, because Arsenal are penetrating into their defense, just that they are unable to score any goal also.
This was just how I expected it to be today at Arsenal home stadium, I knew Madrid wouldn't be able to win Arsenal easily at Emirates stadium but I expected them to be able to hold Arsenal and try to get a less goal margin in this leg so that way they will have the advantage when Arsenal visits them at Santiago Bernebue.
Arsenal is not a bad team and they are capable of challenging Real Madrid. The game will be boring but I believe the 2nd leg will be very interesting one. Arsenal is already a goal up but there is every chance that the match could end as draw just as you said.
From time it is obvious that Real Madrid is not a team that defends so their defense is not so strong and their power lies in their attack.
