The last time Real and Arsenal met in an official match was in 2006, in the Champions League group. Then the Gunners won in Madrid and held on to a goalless draw at home. Both teams failed to win before the face-to-face match: Arsenal drew with Everton, Real lost to Valencia.
In the match with Valencia, the goalkeeper's place in Real's goal was unexpectedly taken by 19-year-old debutant Fran Gonzalez. He was also included in the Cream squad for the match with Arsenal. But Andrey Lunin was not there. It was reported that Lunin could fall out of the game for four weeks, and in the game with Valencia, his appearance on the field with painkiller injections was not ruled out.
The Ukrainian is not Real's only loss. Ceballos and Militao are injured, Tchouameni is suspended. Arsenal have Calafiori, Havertz, Gabriel Jesus in the infirmary, and Sterling is suspended.
Arsenal have two wins in their last seven matches. Real have five wins in the same period, but none in their last two matches. At the same time, Real have never beaten Arsenal in official matches: two defeats and two draws.
