Saka starts! Arsenal and Real Madrid name teams for UCL clash | OneFootball

Arsenal  and Real Madrid have named their lineups for tonight's Champions League quarter-final first leg at the Emirates Stadium.

The big news for the Gunners is the return of Bukayo Saka to the starting lineup for the first time in 2025. Jakub Kiwior is also selected at the back, partnering William Saliba over Ben White.

Following the shock 2-1 home loss to Valencia at the weekend which has greatly hampered their hopes of retaining their LaLiga title, Carlo Ancelotti makes four changes to his side.

Thibaut Courtois makes a welcome return in goal, while there is also places for Raul Asencio, David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga.

Asencio replaces the suspended Aurélien Tchouaméni at the heart of defence, while Fede Valverde is moved from midfield to right back.
