Final Verdict

Declan Rice's second free-kick goal vs Real Madrid | sportzpoint.com

A perfect night for Arsenal. They are up and about from the word go. However, Real Madrid did show some glimpses of their best in the first half. 

But in the second half, Arsenal dominated Real Madrid like a minnow team from smaller leagues. 

Declan Rice, with two stunning free-kicks, has now become the first player to score multiple free-kicks in a single UCL knockout game.

Mikel Merino also scored a beautiful goal to give Arsenal the important cushion they were looking for. 

Camavinga received a red during the fag end of the match and he will miss the second leg. 

But is it all over? When the team is Real Madrid, the game is not over until it's over. 

Arsenal will head to Berenbeau as favourites, but don't count out Real Madrid yet.

And, yes, Arsenal are still unbeaten against Real Madrid in UCL.

This was Koushik Biswas, bringing you all the updates of the match. I hope you enjoyed the coverage. Good night and see you in the next game.

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.

Real Madrid

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)

This will be just the third meeting between Arsenal and Real Madrid in European competition, following their last 16 tie in the UEFA Champions League in 2005-06. Arsenal won 1-0 in the first leg away from home before drawing 0-0 at Highbury in the second leg (1-0 on aggregate).

Final verdict

It was eventually a boring, actionless Manchester Derby where both teams could have been better. City lacked the depth in their attacking front, while United could not take the chances in the second half. 

Zirkzee tried his best to do some damage in the second half, while Bruno was the best player on the field and won the Player of the Match award as well. 

But, in the end, both teams looked like the Premier League is done for them, and they now need to end the season as quickly as possible. 

This was Koushik Biswas with the real-time updates for you. I hope you enjoyed the coverage. 

Thank you. See you in the next match.

The top five European Leagues – Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1 have different title chase scenarios as the leagues are entering the final lap, leading the clubs to their fate in the 2024-25 season.

England, Germany, and France have witnessed a one-sided battle for the league title this season, except for Spain and Italy, where the champions might be decided even in the closing matchday this season.

Title Race in Top Five European Leagues: What are the equations?-sportzpoint.com

In this article, we will examine the league table scenarios, possible equations for the league leaders to secure the title, and the contention for the continental competitions such as UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League for next season.

Liverpool are currently atop the Premier League 2024-25 table, having bagged 73 points in 30 matches. The Reds are edging closer to the title as Arsenal, the second-placed side, dropped points against Everton in a 1-1 stalemate yesterday.

Liverpool have a chance to extend their lead at the top with a win against Fulham this evening, which will see them going 14 points ahead of the Gunners.

The Mikel Arteta-led side has earned 62 points in 31 games so far. As of now, Liverpool only need 11 points from their last eight games to secure the Premier League title for the 20th time in their history.

Nottingham Forest have been a surprise entrant for a top-four finish in the Premier League, charging for a UEFA Champions League berth next season. The Forest are now third with 57 points in 31 games – five points clear of the fourth-placed Chelsea.

Fifth-placed Manchester City (51 points in 30 games) and Aston Villa (51 points in 31 games), now sixth, will throw a tough challenge for the Champions League and Europa League berth, whereas seventh-placed Newcastle United (50 points in 29 games) might surpass City and Villa in the race.

The title race in LaLiga 2024-25 has intensified dramatically after the league leaders FC Barcelona and nearest challengers Real Madrid dropped points in the same day yesterday. Los Blancos faced a shocking 1-2 defeat against Valencia at home, whereas Barcelona were held to a 1-1 draw against Real Betis at home.

Barcelona are currently atop the table with 67 points in 30 matches, four points clear of Real Madrid with 63 points in the same number of games. The title race might go down to the last matchday as these two teams will meet in the fierce El Clasico, scheduled for May 11th, which could decide the potential champions. 

Fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao (53 points in 29 games) are already five points ahead of Real Betis, now fifth (48 points in 30 games) with one game in hand. Sixth-placed Villareal (47 points in 28 games) could pose a challenge for both of them for UCL and UEL qualification, with two games in hand to match Betis' tally.

Serie A 2024-25 might witness one of the greatest showdowns in the title charge in the league's history, as league leaders Inter Milan dropped points in a 2-2 draw against Parma last night.

Defending champions Inter Milan are currently topping the table with 68 points across 31 games, having played one game more than second-placed Napoli, who have accumulated 64 points in 30 games. If Napoli ends this week with a win, the gap between these two teams will be just one, leading the teams to walk the wire in the final matchdays.

The pressure to finish in the top four have also intensified in Italy. With Inter and Napoli confirmed to finish in the top four, third-placed Atalanta (58 points in 30 games), fourth-placed Bologna (56 points in 30 games), fifth-placed Juventus (55 points in 30 games), and sixth-placed AS Roma (52 points in 30 games) will battle it out for the last two UCL berths.

Ligue 1

Paris Saint-Germain have claimed the 2024-25 Ligue 1 title after beating Angers 1-0 last night, ensuring their fourth successive title with 74 points in 28 games. The Luis Enrique-managed side have been crowned champions with six matches remaining and are now 24 points ahead of the second-placed AS Monaco (50 points in 28 matches). 

PSG have clinched another milestone, winning the league title without losing a single game so far, and with six matches remaining, they will look to embrace the 'invincible' tag by ending the season without a single defeat.

If Les Parisiens complete an unbeaten league season, they will join a special group of clubs from Europe's top five leagues that have achieved this feat. This group includes Bayer Leverkusen in 2024, Juventus in 2012, Arsenal in 2004, AC Milan in 1992, Perugia in 1979, and Preston North End in 1889.

However, the race to qualify for next season's UCL will go down to the wire between six teams who are differentiated by only four points – AS Monaco (50), Olympique de Marseille (49), Olympique Lyonnais (48), OGC Nice (47), Lille OSC (47), and RC Strasbourg (46).
