Good afternoon and welcome to Real Madrid v Arsenal in the Women’s Champions League. The Gunners will be favourites to progress to the semi-finals but Real Madrid have an abundance of stars to put a cat among the pigeons.
The most notable big game player in Real Madrid’s squad is Caroline Weir. She has turned up just when her current and previous club’s have needed her in crunch moments. They will be depending on her to come through once again today.
While Arsenal have experienced a great run of form since manager Renee Slegers came into the job last October. They topped their group with the final group game seeing them defeat Bayern Munich. The Women’s Champions League and Women’s Super League are the only two bits of silverware available to the Gunners this season and so there will be even more onus on this two-leg tie.
The team news will be announced shortly so stay tuned for all the updates before kick-off at 5.45pm GMT.
