From what I can see in our messages, Alex from London now has even the most nervous Arsenal fans believing their side can get the job done against Real Madrid.

Thanks for joining us today - we'll be back tomorrow morning to pick apart the events at the Bernabeu...

There is a Premier League match taking place too, don't forget.

Newcastle United are aiming to go third in the table and strengthen their Champions League hopes when they take on Crystal Palace this evening, still without their manager Eddie Howe in the dugout while he is recovering from pneumonia.

In terms of team news for Newcastle, Joe Willock is available but Sven Botman, Lewis Hall and Jamaal Lascelles are not up for selection.

For Crystal Palace Marc Guehi and Eddie Nketiah are back after being suspended for the club's defeat against Manchester City.

Real Madrid

Tonight, all the attention is on the Bernabeu, where Arsenal will hope to use their 3-0 lead and secure a place in the Champions league semi-finals.

But Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham believes his team are not out of it.

"It’s a weird environment in the build-up. It’s one of the worst results we could imagine and yet everyone believes that we can come back to win.

"It’s a nice feeling, it means there is a lot of trust in the talent and that you’re at a club like no other - the best in the world. There’s a pressure which comes with that and we want to deliver. Everyone believes we can come back and that is the goal for us.

"It’s a night that is made for Real Madrid, a night that would go down in history. Not much hasn’t been done by Real Madrid in the Champions League but this is our chance to do something for the first time and that is really important for us."

In fairness to Ruben Amorim, he didn't shirk it.

The Manchester United head coach could have opted not to answer and leave everyone guessing – or scurrying to find out via other means – until his team for tomorrow night's game against Lyon was announced 75 minutes before kick-off.

But he was straight to the point. Andre Onana starts.

It is not, Amorim pointed out, because he likes the Cameroon international – although he does – nor he feels his confidence needs a boost.

Amorim feels Onana is the best man for the job.

He skirted round questions over whether he will need a new goalkeeper this summer. In the hear and now, he trusts Onana to deliver a performance that will help United into the Europa League semi-finals.

"When I imagine the game, I see Andre Onana," said Amorim.

He can only hope the faith is justified.

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana may have been dropped for the club's Premier League match against Newcastle but he is back in the fold for tomorrow night's Europa League match.

Onana had a disappointing performance in the first leg which led to him not playing against Newcastle. But manager Ruben Amorim says he will play the second leg on Thursday.

Have a watch of what the boss said in his earlier press conference here:

Manchester United

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim and defender Harry Maguire spoke to the media ahead of tomorrow's Europa League quarter-final tie against Lyon.

Here's a look at the top lines from the pair as they try to advance on their 2-2 draw in the first leg:

• Amorim confirms Joshua Zirkzee's absence for the rest of the season
• And that Andre Onana will start Thursday's second leg

• Harry Maguire says Man Utd have been 'too inconsistent this season'
• He also said wearing the Man Utd badge comes with responsibility
• And that a trophy is important

Thanks for joining us today. We'll soon be wrapping up on this page but we'll have a quick recap before we leave you.

We heard from Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim and defender Harry Maguire ahead of tomorrow's Europa League quarter-final second-leg against Lyon, including Amorim's decision to play Andre Onana in goal against Lyon tomorrow night.

We've also looked forward to Real Madrid and Arsenal's Champions League quarter-final clash. With the Gunners leading 3-0 on aggregate, it will take a historic 'Remontada' for the Spanish side to comeback and secure themselves a semi-final place.

• 'The first goal will be crucial' - Matt Upson
• Arsenal have had an impressive Champions League campaign so far
• Talk of 'La Remontada'

You can follow live coverage of tonight's two Champions League games from 18:30 BST, ahead of the 20:00 BST kick-offs, here on the BBC Sport website.

Real Madrid are second in La Liga, in the final of the Copa del Rey and in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but even if they pick up silverware should it be viewed as a successful season?

Kiyan Sobhani from the Managing Madrid fan channel tells The Football News Show that the manner of their performances mean this season should be regarded as a failure.

History will tell you that this can happen for Real Madrid. Remontada is the word on everyone's lips - comeback. I understand the hype, the noise and the expectation of this Real Madrid group.

But they are up against a stubborn team in Arsenal. Only Inter and Atlético would I put in the same category defensively. They know how to defend set plays and also are a threat from set plays themselves.

It will be a tough task for Real.

It's only natural that supporters are going to feel some nerves before matches of this magnitude.

As Arsenal aim to reach the last four of the Champions League for only the third time, Gunners fan Laura Kirk-Francis tells The Football News Show why this Arsenal team is different to those before it and should be able to progress against Real Madrid.

Well, Alex, you have some support here from fellow Gooner Ariel.

I'm not sure how closely Mikel Arteta follows the BBC Sport live page - at least on matchdays anyway - but you never know...

The first goal in this game will be crucial, as is with most games. Especially for Real Madrid, being at home they need to get that crowd up and make Arsenal feel really uncomfortable and under the cosh.

Then you are asking questions of players. Can they hold their nerve? Will they make a mistake? All it takes is something small. A small piece of indecision puts the opposing team on the front foot. Real Madrid will be wanting to force those mistakes.

It’s a fascinating situation for both teams and a hard one to call.
