NORMALLY I'd start these columns with the Premier League action from this weekend - but I can't because I'm just too excited about Real Madrid against Arsenal.

Admittedly, I did not see Arsenal's win coming last week and every credit to them for pulling out a performance like that when it really counts.

The problem for them is that they have got to back it up again in the Bernabeu on Wednesday night.

Real are 4-6 to win the match - whether that is good enough to get them through to the semi-finals is another guess, but I do think that they will win on the night.

Arsenal, though, for all their lack of an out-and-out striker, do have plenty of attacking talent and options.
