Gunners' gaffer Mikel Arteta has guided his team into the last eight once again this time after last season, thanks to a staggering 7-1 crushing of PSV in the first leg of their last-16 fight ahead of a 2-2 home draw.

However, a distressing 1-1 draw against Everton on Saturday moved Liverpool one step closer to the title, though Arteta's team selection was as much that of a man who has his eyes firmly on Madrid, where Arsenal will seek to take their unbeaten run in all tournaments to eight matches while also keeping up an incredible European home record.

In fact, the North London side has not lost any of their past 10 Champions League matches at the Emirates - keeping eight clean-sheets during that period.

Arteta will be confident after Bukayo Saka's return from a long-standing injury, where he will be paired up with makeshift striker Mikel Merino and Martinelli. However, Ricardo Calafiori, Gabriel Margalhaes, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, and Takehiro Tomiyasu are the key absentees for tonight's game, whereas Raheem Sterling will serve a one-game suspension.

However, Gabriel Martinelli, Declan Rice, and Jurrien Timber will miss the return leg if they receive bookings tonight.

As long as Carlo Ancelotti is in charge of the Real Madrid touchline, Real Madrid will seemingly always manage to find a way in the Champions League, and so it turned out in the second leg of their fiercely-fought last-16 tie with city rivals Atletico Madrid.

Following a 4-4 draw against Real Sociedad in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final and progressing to an El Clasico final with a 5-4 aggregate victory, Real Madrid were stunned by a 1-2 La Liga defeat to Valencia last weekend.

If Real Madrid can make Arsenal the 112th team they have defeated in the Champions League on Tuesday night, another trophy-less campaign will be the lot of Arteta's Arsenal unless there is some miraculous second-leg recovery.

Ancelotti will have to exclude long-time absentees Dani Carvajal, Dani Ceballos, and Eder Militao, along with Aurelin Tchouameni, who is suspended for this game. Second-choice keeper Andriy Lunin and Ferland Mendy are also doubtful. 

However, a long list of Madrid players might miss the second leg if booked tonight: Eduardo Camavinga, Endrick, Luka Modric, Antonio Rudiger, Lucas Vazquez, and Vinicius Jr.

Head-to-head Stats (In UCL)

Real Madrid vs FC Barcelona, El-clasico 2025-26 LIVE: Scores, updates, news, and free commentary | Real Madrid leading by 2-1 at half-time: Mbappe showing who is the boss to Lamine

Welcome to the live blog of the world’s most iconic football rivalry — El Clásico — as Real Madrid host FC Barcelona in a high-voltage La Liga 2025-26 clash at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid. 

The kick-off is at 8.45 pm IST. 

Real Madrid, managed by Xabi Alonso, come into this fixture unbeaten in their last five across all competitions. With Kylian Mbappé in scintillating form, eight goals in nine league matches, the hosts aim to avenge last season’s painful string of defeats to Barcelona. Los Blancos have scored 23 goals so far this season while conceding only seven.

Barcelona, under Hansi Flick, are the defending champions but currently face pressure after inconsistent performances and several injury setbacks. The Catalans, however, boast the league’s best attacking numbers, led by Lamine YamalRaphinha, and Fermín López, and are determined to reclaim the top spot despite Flick’s absence from the touchline following a recent red card.

El-Clasico stats since Messi left Barcelona

Since Lionel Messi left his first team FC Barcelona in 2021, Barcelona have played 15 games against Real Madrid in El-Clasico football matches. Barcelona won 8 times while losing 7 times in those games.

Oct 26, 2025, 4:17 AM3 min read

Lionel Messi left FC Barcelona in August 2021 and joined PSG. Later he joined Inter Miami from PSG.

Barcelona's record-goal scorer Lionel Messi remained the face of the Catalan giants throughout his trophy-laden stint at Camp Nou, especially his terrific contributions in El-Clasico.

Often dubbed as one of the greatest footballers in the history of the beautiful game, goal-machine Messi used to run rings around Real Madrid even when his Ballon d'Or arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo was at the peak of his powers.

There is no denying that the golden era of El Clasico came to an end when Ronaldo left Santiago Bernabeu in 2018.

Three years after Ronaldo's sensational transfer to Juventus, record-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi made headlines when he ended his long association with FC Barcelona in 2021.

After Messi joined Kylian Mbappe and Neymar at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), arch-rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid played out the first-ever Clasico without Messi or Ronaldo in the 2021/22 season since 2007.

El-Clasico: How many times have Barcelona defeated Madrid without Messi?

El-Clasico stats since Messi left Barcelona | sportzpoint.com

Not just Ronaldo, Messi has an edge over all La Liga icons when it comes to playing El-Clasico matches in the Spanish top flight. With 26 goals for Barcelona, Messi left Camp Nou as the all-time top goalscorer in the history of El-Clasico.

In his final Clasico appearance, Messi failed to inspire Barcelona as Real Madrid battled past Blaugrana at the Bernabeu in 2021. Since Messi's transfer to PSG, Barcelona have met Real Madrid in 12 competitive games.

In those 15 El-Clasico games, Barcelona won 8 times while Real Madrid won 7 times. None of those games has been drawn

El-Clasico: Head to Head Stats | sportzpoint.com

El Clasico refers to a match between two of Spain's biggest teams, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. The rivalry goes beyond the football field as Madrid, the capital of Spain and Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia's autonomous community, have shared their fair share of political tension over the years. 

Initially, the term was only used for the matches in the domestic Spanish championship, La Liga. Over the years, however, it's been globally recognised for every single meeting, such as in the UEFA Champions League or even domestic cup competitions like the Copa del Rey and Supercopa de España.

With both teams boasting big budgets and reputations that appeal to world-class performers across the planet, their respective ranks have been loaded with match-winners over the years.

Real Madrid vs Juventus FC, UEFA Champions League 2025-26 recap: Bellingham's lone goal help Madrid keep 100% win record; RMA 1-0 JUVE

Welcome to the live blog for this thrilling UEFA Champions League 2025-26 Group Stage clash between Real Madrid and Juventus FC at the iconic Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain. Kickoff is set for 12.30 am IST on 23 October 2025.

This is Barnali Debnath, who will bring you all the updates of the Real Madrid vs Juventus FC match from the web desk.

Real Madrid enters this fixture unbeaten in this season’s Champions League, having won their first two matches convincingly against Olympique Marseille (2-1) and Kairat Almaty (5-0). Led by manager Xabi Alonso, the Spanish giants sit second in the group, just behind Bayern Munich, and are on a five-game winning streak at home across competitions. 

Juventus, meanwhile, face a difficult challenge. They have yet to register a win in the Champions League this season after drawing their first two group matches against Borussia Dortmund and Villarreal. Their recent domestic form includes a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Como.

Stay tuned and enjoy the coverage.

Final verdict

Jude Bellingham after his goal in the Real Madrid vs Juventus FC, UEFA Champions League 2025-26 match | sportzpoint.com

Real Madrid deserved the win and three points. 

They remain undefeated and keep their 100% win rate in the UEFA Champions League this season. Meantime, Juventus will have to look for better options as they have yet to win this season in the tournament.

It was Jude Bellingham's goal that made the difference, and they are now at No.5, even with a 100% win rate.

I hope you enjoyed the coverage. See you in the next match. Good night and take care.

The Dutch side were unfortunate not to score when an excellent Yann Sommer denied Mika Godts' save before the opening goal, but Cristian Chivu's first experience of the UEFA Champions League as a coach produced a confident victory for the visitors.

PSG 4-0 Atalanta - UEFA Champions League matchday 1 roundup

Luis Enrique can’t have wished for much more. A swashbuckling attacking display that included four goals and a well-deserved clean sheet.

After a league phase campaign fraught with jeopardy last time round, Paris start their quest for a second consecutive Champions League crown in the most consummate of ways.

As for Atalanta, they toiled and stuck to their task, but will now focus on picking up their first points against Club Brugge in two weeks time.

Sep 17, 2025, 9:09 PM

Full time | Liverpool 3-2 Atletico

Liverpool 3-2 Atletico - Virgil van Dijk scored a late winner for LiverpoolLiverpool found a way for a hard-fought three points in their league phase opener.

Atleti deserve huge credit for their response to falling 2-0 down. The hosts fashioned the better chances after the interval, with Mohamed Salah striking the post, but Marcos Llorente’s late volley was cancelled out by Virgil Van Dijk right at the end.

Liverpool could hardly have wished for a better start at Anfield after Andy Robertson’s fortuitous opener and Mohamed Salah’s fine effort, but Atleti have done well to gain a foothold and managed to half the deficit through Marcos Llorente on the stroke of half-time. 

The hosts will need to hit the ground running in the second half, otherwise it might be back to square one for Arne Slot's team.

Sep 17, 2025, 7:53 PM

Half-time | Ajax 0- 1 Inter

UEFA Champions League 2025-26, match day 1 all matches LIVE updates, Scores, and News: Thuram scored for Inter

After something of a shaky start, Ajax managed to find their way back into the game. 

Ironically, they had the best chance of taking the lead – Yann Sommer saving expertly from Mika Godts – seconds before Marcus Thuram headed the visitors in front at the other end.

John Heitinga’s men will now have to commit more men forward in search of an equaliser, which could play into Inter’s hands.

Sep 17, 2025, 7:53 PM

Half-time | PSG 2-1 Atalanta

A consummate performance befitting of champions. Paris have started their European campaign in much the same vein they finished the last - in total control. In truth, Atalanta had done well to limit the hosts to Marquinhos’ close-range finish, with Marco Carnesecchi largely to thank, but Khvicha Kvaratskhelia eventually added a sumptuous second.

Bradley Barcola’s missed penalty is the only blemish, while Atalanta will be grateful for the half-time break.

Full time: Praha 2-2 Bodo

What a contest we have witnessed! Both teams gave everything, competing all the way. Slavia earned a two-goal advantage thanks to a pair of strikes from Youssoupha Mbodji on his full debut, but Bodø/Glimt displayed the character they so often showed during last season's run to the Europa League semi-finals thanks to substitutes Sondre Brunstad Fet and Daniel Bassi. A breathtaking evening, with both clubs showing why they play at this level.

Olympiacos 0-0 Pafos

Pafos make a memorable debut in the UEFA Champions League, taking a point despite having ten players for more than an hour. Olympiacos applied plenty of pressure around the opposition box but may feel their finishing could have been better, while the Cypriot club managed to disarm them and escape unscathed.

Up next, potentially greater hurdles for both sides: Olympiacos travel to London for their game against Arsenal, while Pafos play host to Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid 2-1 Marseille

A pair of penalties from Kylian Mbappé helped Real Madrid turn a deficit into victory in Xabi Alonso's first Champions League game at the helm. 

After withstanding early pressure from the hosts, Marseille struck first through Timothy Weah's emphatic finish, but Alonso's side were quickly level when Mbappé converted from the spot following a foul by Geoffrey Kondogbia on Rodrygo.

Although Madrid had Dani Carvajal sent off in the 72nd minute, Mbappé struck again with nine minutes left after Facundo Medina was penalised for handball.

Sep 17, 2025, 5:05 AM

Full time: Juventus 4-4 Dortmund

UEFA Champions League 2025-26, match day 1 all matches LIVE updates, Scores, and News: Juventus 4-4 Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund and Juventus shared the spoils after an eight-goal thriller in Turin that equalled the record for the highest-scoring Champions League draw.

Khéphren Thuram and Loïs Openda both went close for the hosts in the first half, before Karim Adeyemi’s 52nd-minute finish sparked the encounter into life.

Kenan Yıldız, Felix Nmecha and Dušan Vlahović all scored in a four-minute flurry before Yan Couto's powerful finish made it 3-2 to Dortmund.

The visitors looked to have sealed victory through Ramy Bensebaini's 85th-minute penalty, but Juventus rescued a draw in added time thanks to Dušan Vlahović's finish and a Lloyd Kelly header.
