Real Madrid CF vs Arsenal F.C. Prediction 16 April 2025
Added on 14 April, 2025
Real Madrid and Arsenal are set for a dramatic second leg in the Champions League quarterfinals, with the Spanish side needing to overcome a three-goal deficit.
Despite struggling with injuries and inconsistent form, Madrid have relied on individual brilliance to stay afloat. They’ve already seen off Manchester City (3:2, 3:1) and Atletico (2:1, 1:1), though a recent 0:1 La Liga loss to Alaves exposed ongoing issues.
Arsenal, meanwhile, dropped points against Brentford (1:1) and are no longer in contention for the Premier League title, effectively putting all focus on Europe. Their dominant 7:1 and 2:2 results against PSV highlighted their attacking power and depth. The Gunners were clinical in the first leg and arrive in Madrid with a strong lead.
The Bernabéu can be a turning point in any tie, and Real’s experience in high-stakes matches is unmatched. A home win is certainly within reach, but overcoming the full deficit against a disciplined Arsenal side feels unlikely. The visitors may lose on the night, but they remain favorites to progress.
