Preamble
Hello and welcome to the second leg of the Women’s Champions League quarter-final between Arsenal and Real Madrid. It is the Gunners with all the work to do this evening but they are at home so the Emirates atmosphere may see them through to the semis.
In the first leg, Real Madrid were spectacular on a horrid pitch to beat Arsenal 2-0. And although she didn’t get on the scoresheet, Caroline Weir was on form. The question will be if they can replicate the performance away from home.
Arsenal have a lot to overturn but if they score early it will rip the game wide open. We will be taking a look at what each club have said before this game and what the team news is.
The line-ups for this evening’s match will be revealed shortly so stay tuned before kick-off at 8pm GMT.
