Real Madrid will need to pull off one of their greatest European comebacks yet to remain in with a chance of defending their Champions League title after a shock 3-0 defeat at Arsenal.
Two stunning direct free-kicks from Declan Rice put Arsenal in complete control of their quarter-final first leg and Mikel Merino scored a clinical third to leave Real with a mountain to climb at the Bernabeu in next Wednesday’s decider.
Pegged back by the lively Gabriel Martinelli and looked like a midfielder being forced to play out of position.
