Arsenal and Real Madrid face off in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals this week in a battle between two of Europe's biggest clubs.
Surprisingly, this is just the second time these two teams have met in the competition. Arsenal famously beat Real Madrid over two legs thanks to a Thierry Henry goal in the 2005-06 season. The Gunners would go on to lose the final to Barcelona in one of the most controversial finals in the competition's history.

Both sides have their fair share of injuries, but many expect an exciting two legs. The star power on the field is arguably unmatched across all quarterfinals with Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka lining up.
