How Arteta sets his team up to withstand a Real Madrid comeback will be interesting to see.<\/p>\n In his pre-match presser, Arteta said<\/a> Arsenal should: “Play the same way that we played in the first game.”<\/p>\n Madrid were caught cold and were comfortably beaten by an Arsenal side that not only created key chances and scored them, but also had more possession.\u00a0That said, the Spanish side will have the home advantage in the second leg, especially after UEFA granted their request to close the roof of their stadium.<\/p>\n Arteta commented on facing the Real Madrid crowd: “Like I said that is something we cannot control. The fans, the stadium. We cannot think about that. We have to think about ourselves.”<\/p>\n The last time Arsenal played at the Bernabeu, Thierry Henry scored in a historic 1-0 win against Real Madrid. This is a result that surely any Arsenal fan would take again tonight.<\/p>\n The North London side hopes to play on May 31 in the Champions League final for only its second appearance. This will be amidst a hectic sports schedule with the French Open going on at the same time. Between football and tennis scores<\/a> aplenty, it’s a time of year that supporters are relishing. And it all starts with a professional performance on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Arteta gave three key injury updates on who travelled with the squad to Madrid.<\/p>\n He said: “The positive one, Ben White managed to train with us.”\u00a0When asked about Thomas Partey, he said: “Yeah [Partey] is available. He felt good after the last few days and he’s fine.”\u00a0Arteta’s third update was on Jorginho: “He’s not here”.<\/p>\n Previously, Ben White was not included in the Brentford matchday squad, while Thomas Partey was subbed off due to injury. Jorginho was another player who picked up an injury in this game.<\/p>\n Other Arsenal players unavailable for this fixture include Takehiro Tomiyasu, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz, who are all still recovering from injury.<\/p>\nArsenal Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n
