Real Madrid are set to face Arsenal in a highly anticipated UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg, scheduled for Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at the Emirates Stadium in London.
Los Blancos will be without French midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni, who is suspended after picking up his third yellow card of the tournament in the Round of 16 second leg against Atlético Madrid.
Despite his absence, manager Carlo Ancelotti can breathe a sigh of relief, as Kylian Mbappé, Antonio Rüdiger, Dani Ceballos, and Vinícius Júnior have all avoided suspensions. UEFA handed them fines following an investigation into incidents during the Madrid derby.
