Luka Modric has warned his Real Madrid before they get ready to play Arsenal in April.
Arsenal & Real Madrid to battle for the semi-final’s spot
Luka Modric has ased his teammates ahead of their UCL tie against Arsenal. That they cannot let their minds be diverted. They are playing a good north London side in the UCL.
Arsenal will play the Spanish side for the first time in competitive matches. They last played them in their historic win over the Spanish titans way back almost two decades ago in 2006.
Real moved to the quarters following a big win over Atletico. They have had tough games after the league phase. And again, Carlo Ancelotti and his players will have a great fight ahead.
Modric was a part of the Spurs to get a away win in the league. He will be ready for the challenge when his team clashes with the Gunners. But the first tie is not scheduled to be played until midweek in April. And he knows a lot can happen until then.
Arteta’s take on the UCL last eight
Ultimately, the match is going to be won by small margins. Players ability and good performances will be important. And then making it a great night when we get the chance to play at the Emirates.
The Gunners made it to the last-eight in the previous season after more than a decade of absence.
Madrid defeated their La Liga opponents 2-1 at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg last week. They also triumphed in the penalty shootout 4-2. Atletico forward Julian Alvarez saw a penalty disallowed by the video assistant referee (VAR)
Arsenal will have to call on all of their defensive tools to shut down a dangerous Real Madrid offense that includes Bellingham, Mbappe and Vinicius Jr.
Bukayo Saka has a good chance of being ready for both legs against Real Madrid, and that will be a major boost to Arsenal’s offense.
