The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another set of matches this week as Arsenal lock horns with Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid side in an important encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.

Arsenal vs Real Madrid Preview

Real Madrid are currently in second place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. Los Blancos slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of Valencia in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.

Arsenal, on the other hand, are in second place in the Premier League table at the moment and have stepped up to the plate this season. The home side played out a 1-1 draw against Everton last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Arsenal vs Real Madrid Prediction

Real Madrid have been impressive this season but have stuttered with alarming regularity over the past month. The Spanish giants were well below their best against Valencia and cannot afford another debacle this week.

Arsenal have thrived under Mikel Arteta this season but will be up against a strong opponent on Tuesday. Both teams are evenly matched at the moment and could play out a draw in this fixture.

During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.

Aditya is a semi-professional pianist and likes to participate in concerts and recitals when not immersed in football.
