Reigning European champions have matched their 16-year-old abysmal Champions League record following Tuesday’s 3-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men have now failed to score in consecutive Champions League games for the first time since February-March 2009 in the last-16 tie against Liverpool under manager Juande Ramos.
Notwithstanding the setback, Real Madrid will be aiming to overturn the deficit when they welcome the Gunners to the Santiago Bernabeu next week for the second leg.
