by In the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, Real Madrid visited Arsenal and suffered a 0-3 defeat, matching a negative record.
Details: According to Opta, for the first time since the 2008/09 season, “Los Blancos” have lost two consecutive playoff matches in the UEFA Champions League without scoring a single goal. In the previous match, Real failed to score against Atletico Madrid, losing 0-1 in regular and extra time.
Back then, the Madrid side advanced thanks to a penalty shootout. Now, Real has succumbed to Arsenal away with a resounding 0-3 scoreline.
Moreover, Real Madrid has never scored against Arsenal in history. Furthermore, the Madrid team has never beaten the “Gunners.” The teams have not faced each other often, but each time “Los Merengues” have been unable to overcome this hurdle.
Reminder: In a week, the opponents will face off in the second leg. To reach the tournament’s semifinals, Real needs to score at least three times.
