After a stunning 3-0 win in London last week, Arsenal tries to finish off Real Madrid in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals on Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid, the defending champion and 15-time winner of the competition, will need to pull off a historic comeback to progress – but the team likes its chances at home.
"The Bernabeu has magic, everyone knows it's a special atmosphere," Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti told reporters. "We need a bit of everything, quality and a complete game in terms of physicality and collective attitude. Not one of these things can go wrong."
Meanwhile, Arsenal can book its first trip to the semifinals since 2009.
"Real Madrid are going to try to take us places we don't want to go," Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said Tuesday. "I understand it because it is part of their history and they have the right to be talking about these kinds of (comeback) scenarios.”
Follow along for live updates:
Wednesday's match in Madrid kicks off at 3 p.m. ET.
Real Madrid have won six Champions League titles since 2009 and made a habit of completing unlikely recoveries in the knockout stages of the competitions.
The Spanish heavyweights have overturned deficits against Paris St Germain, Manchester City and VfL Wolfsburg in recent years - with all three of those comebacks being staged in the iconic Bernabeu stadium.
"The Bernabeu has magic, everyone knows it's a special atmosphere. Tomorrow we need a bit of everything, quality and a complete game in terms of physicality and collective attitude. Not one of these things can go wrong," Ancelotti told reporters.
"(Games at the Bernabeu) are very important because the boost from the fans has helped us a lot. Tomorrow it will be the same, we need to play at our maximum level to try to change the tie. It's very complicated at the moment, but tomorrow we'll try to change that."
