Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League quarterfinal tie against Arsenal comes at a consequential moment for both teams in their pursuit of silverware, even if both sides enter the clash in different positions.

Real Valladolid are on a six-game losing run against Atletico in Spain's top flight, including a 5-0 reverse earlier this season, while they were beaten 3-0 by the capital team on their last trip to Wanda Metropolitano in January 2023.
