Arsenal is looking for their very first UEFA Champions League title.
But they have to beat Real Madrid-15-time winners and current champions in the quarterfinals if they want to have the hope of realizing their dream.
The men of Mikel Arteta, however, go to the Emirates Stadium in the first lace in the Emirates Stadium.
They achieved six victories of eight in the group stage, finished third in the new competitive format and only dropped points against the Italian sides Atalanta and Inter Milan. The Gunners then destroyed the Dutch PSV Eindhoven champions in the last 16 with a 9-3 aggregated victory.
In the meantime, Real Madrid struggled in the group stage and only finished 11th.
It meant a play-off of two legs against Manchester City for a last 16 collision against local rivals Atletico Madrid, who only progressed through a controversial penalty shootout after the efforts of Julian Alvarez were excluded as a double kick.
Arsenal has won four of their previous five UEFA Champions League matches at Emirates Stadium, while Real's Away Record stands for three victories from five games.
And Arsenal -legend Ray Parlor believes that his old party needs what is needed to get past the Spanish titans.
“Either Madrid team would have difficult to make, but the glamor bind is absolutely Real Madrid,” he says.
“It is what you dream of as a boy: confronted with Real Madrid, the best club that the European Cup has won the most. To play against them at Emirates and then in Bernabeu is something the whole team will be enthusiastic about.
“You don't have to fear. Some players in the team have played in cup final, the World Cup and Euro Finals, so this is the highlight of club football.
“Arsenal has to defend well. They are able to do this, with a large goalkeeper and top defense – and especially Saliba and Gabriel in the middle. It can amount to pieces and Arsenal is strong here.
“Plus, it is important to take a lead from at least one goal to Madrid, if not two. Arsenal will have a hard time in Madrid, but in Martinelli and Saka they can be good at the counterattack. Hopefully Arsenal Saka has back for this game.
“Raya in Goal will have to have a great game, plus, all the rear four for sure. Their Wingers are fast, so whether it is wood, Lewis-Skelly or Calafiori, they will all have to be wary.”
Arsenal is currently 6/5 with Netbet to beat Real at the Emirates When the team stands in line for the first stage on Tuesday 8 April. A draw is 23/10 and real is 21/10 for triumph.
Arsenal defeated Real Madrid in the 2006 competition final, thanks to an away game by Thierry Henry in the Bernabeu, followed by a 0-0 draw in Highbury.
“For Arsenal -fans it is great to see them against one of the largest clubs in the world in the Emirates Stadium,” says Parlor. “The emirates will have an electric atmosphere.
“Arsenal can win the competition, with PSG or Aston Villa in the semi-final when they are progressing. PSG is a top-that you saw against Liverpool over both legs. But in this competition, the further you go, you stand for the best teams in Europe.
“Arsenal is fully focused on the Champions League and you never know.”
