Arsenal Hold 3-0 Lead Ahead of UCL Quarter-Final Second Leg vs Real Madrid

Arsenal will travel to Santiago Bernabeu with a valuable three-goal cushion after a stunning 3-0 victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final first leg at the Emirates Stadium.

Mikel Arteta’s men executed a near-perfect performance in front of their home fans, shutting down the 14-time European champions and scoring three unanswered goals to take control of the tie.

With this result, Los Blancos must secure a win by four goals to progress directly or three goals to force a penalty shootout — a daunting task even for a club known for their iconic comebacks on home soil.

Despite Real Madrid’s legacy, Arsenal are determined to write their own European history by chasing their first-ever Champions League title. The Gunners have showcased consistent form throughout the campaign and now find themselves one step away from the semifinals.

The second leg is set to be a high-stakes battle, with Arteta urging his players to stay focused and not be swayed by the intimidating atmosphere at the Bernabeu.
