You are right, if Arsenal repeats the same attacking strategy, namely the same as in the first leg, then there is no doubt that Arsenal can win, but if it turns out that Arsenal plays it safe by being more defensive then that will only give Real Madrid more attacking opportunities. And we know that when Real Madrid are given many opportunities to attack, turning things around is not impossible for this team. So Arteta has to really think about this.

Real Madrid are certainly going to win at home but the goal margin won't be enough to qualify them on aggregate. BTS + Over 2.5 seems like a decent market or BTS + Madrid win.

Not getting a single goal at Emirates is going to hurt them so badly in the second leg;I haven't seen a side come back from a 3-0 deficit in the Champions League in a long time.

It's such a big blow for Real Madrid from the Emirates and this will affect their overall position since Arsenal is practically waiting for them in the other leagues which makes their motivation to recover very low.

But the fact that Arsenal is still very far behind in winning this season makes the whole season a subject of speculation as to who will win because almost all the top clubs ant willing to give it up this time around.

At least hoping that both teams score is the best thing to bet on. Because it feels like there will be more than two goals in this match. And each one will create a goal. And because Real Madrid is playing at home, hoping for Real Madrid to win is also a good choice.
Another match that might be a match where both teams can score is the Aston Villa vs PSG match. Like in the first leg, I don't think the second leg will be much different.

Often, we are quite certain that there is always a tendency that the result of a certain match can be determined by its past performance. When two representatives of the strongest leagues of a country come across the line, the fans are bound to expect an open game. This is, of course, the logical misconception of probability experienced sometimes especially when all probability predictions cannot be made based on past outcomes. The minor events including shinny of some important player or some other change in strategies also makes the game turn out in this or that way. There will be a lot of goals, but they can be few, the game may turn to be closed and very cautious. It is natural that people would love high scoring games especially where the two ruling teams are perceived to be aggressive, but still we need to leave room for different possibilities that make the assessment not to be inclined to a certain direction.

Yeah, Arsenal are probably just going to get one goal early one and defend most of the time. Unless they lose their cool head and get a red or the ref gives soft calls that benefits Real, the Gunners are almost certain to move to the next round.

At this point the game will be very unpredictable, but what we just hope for Arsenal and supporters of the club is that they do not concede a penalty or an early goal and also do not get a red card in the game, at least earlier on.
 If Arsenal can manage the second leg properly and not relax with the mindset of a job done, we will send Real Madrid, the title defenders, home.

Real Madrid is going to play with alot of pressure, which is not a good one. 3 goals is not an easy task to upturn, unless Real Madrid is going to rely on so many armies such as;

• Referee
• VAR

But on a normal match, the comeback is near impossible

Well situations like that sometimes happen. Like Arsenal, who currently benefits greatly because they have an aggregate advantage of 3 goals. So there will definitely be those who think that Arsenal will play more defensively so that they don't have the potential to concede goals. But there are also those who still think Arsenal will stick with the extraordinary attacking strategy like in the first leg. Well, everything is uncertain. Everything will be clear shortly before the match starts when all teams have decided what formation to use.

Real Madrid would likely want to start the game in a very fast and pacy manner, all Arsenal needs is proper game management and make sure they also convert their chances whenever they get it. If Arsenal can manage to keep Real Madrid at bay for the first 30 minutes of the game and also able to create chances of their own, Real Madrid will have no choice but to also defend.

You're so cynical, like it can't happen. If someone says Madrid GK will concede 2 free kicks before the match, even you will not believe it. But that's football.
First-leg Arsenal scored 2 goals from free kicks and one from open play. It's a special player ability (Rice) that gave Arsenal the win. 2nd leg Madrid can play shit too and score 2 direct freekicks and a corner kick as well.
No one stopped a good free kick, and it's never anybody's fault. Just like Rice's kicks can't be stopped, the same could happen to Arsenal.

Real Madrid is 3 goals down and we all that is not an easy thing for Real Madrid to bounce back in the second leg. Many people have confident that Real Madrid can make a comeback in the second leg but we should all know that seasons are not the same, this is not the last 3 seasons were Real Madrid made a comeback against Manchester City.

Even though Real Madrid rely on referee that cannot help them beat Arsenal, except they give what it takes to play at their best level. This is not the same Arsenal we watched the previous season, I got surprised with their first leg performance, they might even win the second leg but nobody can tell.

[Harkorede]

The lineups have been released, the only changes for Barcelona from the 1st leg is Gerard Martin replacing injured Balde and Gavi coming into the midfield to replace Pedri, this change looks more like a conservative approach for Hansi Flick, since Gavi is more defensively minded midfielder compared to Pedri.

I agree with you that this is not the same Arsenal we watched the previous season, will you also agree with me that this is not the same Real Madrid we watched last season. Both teams got weaker this season but I believe Arsenal is in more good shape now than Real Madrid. I said this because Saka is back from injury which was a major boost for Arsenal. Unlike Real Madrid that has all the stars available at the front but they will not stop competing among themselves.
Real Madrid was at the top of the Laliga table but within a few matches, Barcelona went ahead of them. So, Arsenal has more team chemistry than Real Madrid.

The first half ended in the favor of Dortmund as they scored only one goal with a penalty. However Dortmund played impressively with a strong defense which made Barcelona uncomfortable on the pitch. The second half has just begun, let's see if Dortmund will still be in their best performance like they did in the second half.

What is happening today on this champions League because I don't understand imagine how strong is Barcelona and they are conceiving this much to Borussia Dortmund, currently is 3:1 against the Barcelona and the only luck they had was the aggregate they had from the last match if not they would have been seeing the impact by now because this 3 goals for Borussia Dortmund would have beaten Barcelona entirely but even on this goals they still have 3 to 5 aggregate against Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona is not inform today.
