Will Arsenal “s Champions League Curse Continue, tonight ??( Or is there a Ray of hope for the Gunners ??

Hostilties resumes today in the UEFA Champions League first Leg Quarter Finals between , English heavy weights in the round leather game , Arsenal , AKA, Gunners by their teeeming fans and also seen as perpetual European “as also rans” in the UEFA Champions League hosts mighty and perennial champions , Real Madrid at the Emirates stadium , North London .

Gunners have not been in top form lately , only struggling to win matches or at least get a draw in all competitions , they surprisingly edged out Dutch side , PSV Eindhoven with nine emphatic goals to get past the Round of 16 then qualify for the quarter finals . while champions , Real Madrid needed a lottery of penalties to ease off City rivals of Spain , Athletico .

If Gunners men can emulate their women’s counter part who edged out their Real Madrid women’s version of them , with a 3-0 win at the Emirates , we know right now that should Arteta s dream come true , but which team is he going beat , 3-0 in London ??? Real Madrid , that should a major upset in European football tonight.

Arteta who have guided Gunners to two quarter finals qualifications back to back last season as well as this season with an astounding 7-1 victory of PSV Eindhoven in the first leg of the round of 16 battle and then a street free 2-2 draw at the Emirates a week later , saw them through to today s encounter .
Back home to the English Premsiehip League , a score draw 1-1 with Eveton last weekend inched Liverpool a bit closer to the EPL title this season .though their preoccupation afterlast Saturdays draw with Eveton is the battle with Real Madrid , this reflected in their team selection and formation to avoid ,avoidable injuries and suspension prior to meeting the beast , Real Madrid at home , where they may like to stretch their 8 games home unbeaten run tonight .

Gunners enviable home record of avoiding defeats in 10 games where they also had clean sheets in 8 out of the 10 is a. massive record , all the same a Real Madrid who has been preparing for their ever major champions league match at the Emirates , Wil not leave any stone unturned to unsettle an Arsenal team who may go to sleep at home , coupled with their lack of attacking bite as well as some of their flat footed defenders , which is suspect for the hosts . Real.Madrid at this stage of this competition do not respect any team be it at home or away , they have done it several times to bigger teams , how much more Gunners who are mere toddlers in the championship .

Heavily guarded by veteran Coach , Carlo Ancelotti , who survived an scare from Connor Gallagher 15 time champions , resorted to their 12 yard prowess to unsettle City Athletico rivals in the round of 16 matches to get to the quarter finals for the fifth year of today’s epic match
Los Blanco’s was last k locked out of the quarter finals , but winning the 12 two legged matches ,but recently , their last two domestic outings exposed a bit of their weakness which could undo them against though lack of bite Gunners attack with a shock defeat to Valencia last weekend when a 95 minute header by Hugo Duro gave the visitors the much needed win at the Bernabau .

Gunners already also no strangers to Real Madrid football prowess and tactical play , but their win against Real Madird in 2006 with a solo effort from Henry Theirry is a reminder of what is likely to be the outcome to fsys Match of history is anything to go by as well as a 0-0 draw at Highbury in the rrturn leg shows that Arsenal has not lost to Real Madrid in a competitive match , but revenge might be in Real s mind today as Gunners might become their 112th victims in the champions league this Tuesday night ,signaling another trophyiless campaign for the Arteta lads .

Predictions .

This match is likely to end in a draw , with Arsenal nursing some injury concerns in their rear guard with Gabriel and Calafori out of contention , but not with standing their absence , Real Madrid s recent set piece weakness which was badly exposed last Sunday when they lost to Valencia at home at the Bernabau,
Though Arsenal conceded against Everoj last weeekend via a hotly contested spot kick whuh gave the Toffees a draw at home , that the English Premsiehip League anyway , but today is a different ball game where the stakes are high and the trophy is almost within reach if either teams that wins today , other things being equal.

We expect a thriller of an encounter in North London this night at the Emirates

Arsenal 1-2 Real Madrid Or 1-1.

Happy Viewing
