It has been a difficult season for Real Madrid. Madrid has already added two trophies to its collection by winning the UEFA Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup, but the list of achievements could end there. Madrid failed in the battle for the Spanish Super Cup and is second in the Primera Liga table, four points behind leaders Barcelona. Although they reached the final of the Copa del Rey, Carlo Ancelotti's charges still await a rematch with the Catalans, whom they have beaten on both occasions this season.
Madrid are also on the brink of elimination from the Champions League. They struggled for results right from the start of the tournament, finishing 11th in the general standings and being forced to play in the last 16. The Spaniards gradually got into the swing of things, overcoming Manchester City 3-2 and 3-1, then beating Atletico 2-1 and 1-1 in the last 16 final before suffering a crushing 3-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal in the first quarter-final.
Arsenal
Arsenal is on the verge of finishing second in the APL for the third season running. The Londoners finished behind Man City in the last two editions of the English championship. Although the Citizens are not in contention for the title, the Gunners have overtaken Liverpool. With six rounds, the Reds are 13 points adrift of the Merseysiders, and any chance of winning the title will soon be gone. At the same time, Mikel Arteta's side is six points clear of their nearest challengers and is unlikely to drop below second place.
However, the Londoners have been in fine form on the international stage. In the general phase of the Champions League, they finished third in the group to progress directly to the last 16. Their opponents were PSV, whom the English side crushed 7-1 in the first leg and drew 2-2 in the return. In the first quarter-final, Mikel Arteta's men were ready to take on the big boys by beating Real Madrid 3-0, with Declan Rice the match's hero, scoring twice from free-kicks.

Real Madrid vs Arsenal Prediction 16 April 2025
Real Madrid is the reigning champions of the tournament and have lifted 15 trophies. Real can have all sorts of problems in domestic competitions, but once they step onto the international stage, all difficulties disappear, and results start to flow. It is all the more surprising that Carlo Ancelotti's men were beaten 3-0 by Arsenal in their first quarter-final. Still, that match was played in London, and the Spaniards were performing miracles at the Santiago Bernabeu. Now they are in a position to cause an upset, so take a risk and get Real Madrid back to progress.
Having lost by three goals in the first quarter-final, Real Madrid must take risks in the return leg and go on the attack from the first minute. Yes, Arsenal will have the opportunity to hit back, but there is no point in Madrid keeping the scores level. Such a scenario suggests sharp football and efficiency from both sides, while Spurs are struggling defensively, having conceded at least once in 10 of their last 11 home games.
