The Champions League final is approaching!

The Champions League playoffs are gaining momentum, and the updated tournament grid is only heating up the interest. Borussia Dortmund, which defeated French Lille with a score of 2:1, and Aston Villa, which confidently won 3:0 after a 0:0 draw with Belgian Brugge, have advanced to the quarterfinals. Real Madrid, despite a 0:1 defeat to Atletico, thanks to a 1:0 victory in the first match and success in the penalty shootout, also continues to fight for the trophy. Spanish Barcelona, ​​German Bayern, Italian Inter and French PSG have also advanced to the next stage thanks to their persistence.

One of the most anticipated games of the second round will be the meeting between Arsenal and Real Madrid. These matches will be held in April, and it is difficult to predict who will be stronger. London's Arsenal have been participating in European competitions since 1963 and have experienced many victories and defeats. In 2006, they became the first London club to reach the UEFA Champions League final.

Real Madrid are 15th in the Champions League in the 2024-25 season. However, their strength should not be underestimated: the Spaniards have enough experience to compete with the toughest opponents. Under Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid won the UEFA Cup twice in the 1980s, and then won the prestigious Champions League title 15 times, including last season. On June 1, 2024, Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at Wembley Stadium in London. It is difficult to predict how their fate will unfold this year. Ancelotti's team has strong opponents, and the regular season was not so successful. However, the playoffs level out all previous results, and this is a completely different test. Real Madrid has experience of winning such tournaments.
