Arsenal face a critical challenge on Wednesday night in their Champions League quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Gunners hold a commanding 3-0 advantage after their dominant victory at the Emirates Stadium, with Declan Rice scoring twice and Mikel Merino adding another.
According to Football Reporter Jamie Kemble, UEFA has confirmed that French referee François Letexier will oversee the match. Letexier has experience officiating Real Madrid’s European matches, including their dramatic 3-3 draw with Manchester City in 2024, a game that saw Los Blancos advance to the semi-finals.
Letexier also officiated Real Madrid’s loss to Liverpool earlier this season and their group-stage win over Napoli in 2023. Despite this experience, he has never refereed an Arsenal game, leaving the Gunners in the dark about his style.
Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior spoke about the significance of the upcoming match, acknowledging the importance of staying calm despite the magnitude of the game. “I think this is an amazing stadium. I’ve never been there, and of course for me this is a very good experience,” Kiwior said.
He emphasized the need to remain focused: “After the game I felt really good… but I still feel like it’s not over yet. The most difficult thing is still ahead of us.” Kiwior stressed that while the first leg was a significant achievement, Arsenal must keep their composure to finish the job in Madrid.
