Arsenal will host Real Madrid for the first time in 19 years when the two sides clash in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals.

Only eight teams remain in the 2024–25 Champions League, setting up a blockbuster battle between Arsenal and Real Madrid. The Gunners have suffered just one loss in their European campaign this season and cruised to the quarterfinals after defeating PSV Eindhoven 9–3 on aggregate in the round of 16. Real Madrid, meanwhile, eliminated Manchester City in the knockout phase playoffs and then needed a penalty shootout to get past Atlético Madrid in the prior round.
