Former Arsenal defender Philippe Senderos, who has never lost to Real Madrid, warns Arsenal to brace for the Bernabeu effect against the record European champions. Senderos highlights the historical significance of the venue and the pressure teams face when playing there. He acknowledges Real Madrid's potential to make a comeback at home, emphasizing the quality of their players and the impact of their fans on the game.
Real Madrid, led by Carlo Ancelotti, faces a crucial match against Arsenal following a 0-3 defeat in the first leg. They must deliver a near-perfect performance at the Santiago Bernabeu, with Ancelotti facing selection dilemmas involving Dani Ceballos and Rodrygo. Ceballos' return from injury raises questions about his fitness, while Rodrygo's recent struggles may see him starting from the bench, potentially being used as an impact substitute later in the game. Ancelotti's choices in these key positions could significantly influence the outcome of Real Madrid's European campaign as they aim to overcome the deficit and advance in the Champions League.
