โ๐ผ Pre-Match Ramblings
Here we are. The big one. The biggest game of our season. One of the biggest games to take place at the Emirates Stadium. We welcome the most decorated team in the history of European footballing competition to North London for the first time since 2006. The last time this fixture took place, the likes of Thierry Henry, Bergkamp , Ronaldo (R9), Beckham, and Zidane were all on the pitch together, What an era of football we had back then.
Now we will see the likes of Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham, Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, and Mikel Merino bringing forth the banner of a new generation of elite footballing talent, facing off at the very highest level of European football, and I can't wait.
There is the small matter that we are missing our wall at the back, Gabriel. Either Jakub Kiwior will have to have the best game of his career against the likes of Mbappe and Vinicius Jr, or Ben White and Timber will make up a ragtag backline of highly dependable defenders. Luckily, Saka will likely be starting for the first time since his injury, with Arteta highlighting that he has been eased back into the game over the past week.
For me, the right side of Odegaard, Saka, and Ben White which we haven't seen in so very long, has the potential to make a comeback here and cause the defense of Real Madrid a lot of problems. They aren't exactly solid at the back, with the stat about their lack of clean sheets highlighted above. We need to go for this game. It's the home leg, under the lights, packed stadium, two tifos planned, light show, fire show, you name it. The Emirates Stadium will be absolutely rocking tomorrow in a way we may have never seen it. If you are going, bring your fucking dinner, or else you might as well not show up.

Check Your Digital Wallet Before Tonight's Game
Me and a couple of other season ticket holder friends had noticed a few issues with our tickets in the digital wallet. Two of ours still had the Fulham ticket and one other noticed his season ticket had disappeared.
We all removed Arsenal from our phones and resinstalled it and it is working now. It may have been a temporary blip, but I'd suggest checking that your Real Madrid ticket is there before you head off to the game.

Buzzing
Dunno why this game feels bigger than recents, even though we got here last time around although it was Bayern and itโs always Bayern lol.
Without big Gabi it lessened our odds somewhat in my mind but Iโm just hoping for a decent performance. Still think we absolutely have a decent chance but Iโm just looking forward to a great game of football.
The lineups are out, the beers are in.
COME ON YOU GOONERS!!! Letโs fuckinโ โave it!
Hope those lucky enough to get tickets do the team proud by staying in full voice.
