Arsenal and Real Madrid clash in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals first leg at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, Apr. 8.
Two of Europe's biggest teams meet for just the second time in the competition's history. Last time Arsenal faced Real Madrid was back in 2006. Thierry Henry's masterful solo goal was the difference maker over two legs as the Gunners advanced past Los Blancos in the round of 16.
A lot has changed in the near 20 years since these teams played each other. Mikel Arteta is looking for his first UCL semifinal as Arsenal boss while Carlo Ancelotti chases yet another trophy for the most successful team in the competition's history.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of the first leg between Arsenal and Real Madrid.
