Real Madrid’s hopes of defending their UEFA Champions League title are hanging by a thread, with Opta Analyst giving them just a 4% chance of progressing to the semi-finals following their 3-0 first-leg loss to Arsenal.
The Gunners stunned the reigning champions at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night, with two brilliant free-kicks from Declan Rice and a composed finish from Mikel Merino sealing a dominant win.
Opta now rates Arsenal’s chances of qualification at 96%, as they prepare for the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Should Arsenal progress, it would mark their first Champions League semi-final appearance since 2009, when they were knocked out by Manchester United.
