Arsenal v Real Madrid LIVE: Score and latest updates from Champions League quarter-final

A couple of good corners from Saka, forcing Courts to push the first over his own bar before the second requires a clearance from near Madrid’s goal line.

CLOSE! This would’ve been something.

The cross comes in from Saka and Camavinga leaves it to Ruddier, who boots the ball against his teammate – and it bounces just wide!

A poor delivery from Odegaard can’t beat the first man. A wayward pass from Saka goes straight to Vini Jr, who surges into the box before trying to find Mbappe with a squared pass, but Saliba blocks well and it runs to Raya.

Good early pressure from the hosts as they win it back off Bellingham before Saka skips past Modric to win a free-kick on the edge of the box!

Early reminder for Arsenal fans that there are four Madrid players who would be suspended if they were to pick up a booking.

Those are Vini Jr, Luka Modric, Eduardo Camavinga and Antonio Rudiger.

Early jeers as Mbappe hits a tame shot from distance.

The away side get us underway in this quarter-final first leg!

The famous anthem rings around the stadium and there’s a notable sense of occasion at the Emirates.

We’re a couple of minutes away from kick-off.

Both teams are in the tunnel at the Emirates, so we’re around five minutes from kick-off.

The Emirates will be hearing the Champions League anthem again soon as it prepares for one of the biggest game it’s witnessed.

The man to hurt Arsenal today?

Or could Bukayo Saka have a career-defining night in the Champions League?
