Former Arsenal star Paul Merson has shared what he believes the Gunners must do to beat Real Madrid in their Champions League quarter-final clash.

Speaking ahead of Tuesday night’s first leg at the Emirates, Merson said Arsenal must make the most of their home advantage by grabbing a convincing win if they want to stand a chance in Madrid.

According to him, a narrow win won’t be enough. “They need at least a two-goal lead before heading to Spain,” he told Sky Sports. “One goal might not cut it.”

He pointed out that although Real Madrid have been shaky lately, especially in defence, their ability to rise to the occasion in Europe remains a big threat.

“Even when they’re not in top form, they always deliver in the Champions League. That’s what Arsenal should be worried about,” he added.
