Two Days Until the Big Match
The Worst News Real Madrid Expected
Arsenal has never lost by a two-goal margin in any match this season, and this is certainly not good news for Real Madrid.
According to reports, Real Madrid has a specific result in mind as they prepare for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal, with less than 48 hours remaining. The result they need is at least a 3-0 victory to force extra time.
However, they face a daunting statistic: Arsenal has not conceded more than two goals in any match this season. The team has played 48 matches across the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and League Cup without suffering a heavy defeat.
In fact, Arsenal has the best defensive record in the highly competitive Premier League, conceding only 27 goals in 32 matches—four fewer than Liverpool, the second-best defensive team in England with 31 goals conceded.
Positive Note
Despite the challenge, Carlo Ancelotti’s team knows they are capable of achieving such a margin. For example, in the Champions League, they have defeated Brest (3-0), Salzburg (5-1), and Borussia Dortmund, and in La Liga, they have secured victories against Real Valladolid (3-0) and Osasuna (4-0) at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Thus, the only way for Real Madrid is to believe until the end and ensure their fans, who will play a crucial role, share the same belief.
