Our prediction for the match Real Madrid vs Arsenal
The Spanish grandee confirmed its status in the previous cycle. It won the Super Cup and the Primera at the inner arena, and took another title at the international level, in the Champions League. The UEFA Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup were won in 2024. At the same time, Barcelona, being under the leadership of Flick, has noticeably improved the performance in Spain. As a result, the team is lagging behind in the Primera, lost to the same opponent in the Super Cup, and final, there will again be a confrontation with the Catalans in the Copa del Rey.
Ancelotti’s footballers had a difficult start in the Champions League: a couple of wins and 3 defeats. Still, then they put together a series of victories, including in the play-offs, against Manchester City and Atletico. Simeone and his wards took revenge at the home arena, but Mbappe and the company won the dramatic penalty shoot-out. The British club calmly overcame the main round (6 wins and 19 points), and crushed PSV with a 7-1 score in Eindhoven. Then it limited itself to a draw with the Dutch on the native field.
A full-fledged sensation was created in London. That happened not in the sense that the English club won at the home arena, but thanks to Rice’s double from free kicks (although it is difficult to remember when Declan had scored in such away before), the team even made it 3-0.
