Thank you as always for joining us today.

All the big talking points from today's build-up towards the Champions League quarter-final first-leg between Arsenal and Real Madrid, along with anything else you've missed, can be found by clicking on the summary points at the top of this page.

We'll be back with you on Wednesday with reaction to Tuesday's action.

Until then though, have a good one and please follow our live text coverage of Arsenal v Real Madrid which will be live at 18:30 BST.

Jude Bellingham v Martin Odegaard is still mightily close by the way.

They just changed positions twice in the last 20 seconds.

You can keep voting if you want even though the graphic has been posted, I've thoroughly enjoyed that.

Also, I must add, Aurelien Tchouameni is actually suspended this evening so won't be involved in the game. But changing him out would have thrown the whole thing into chaos. It was chaos anyway, but you get me.

Please accept my apologies and I'm sorry Arsenal fans if I had you worried that you may be coming up against him this evening.

The results are in.

And for once it really is a combined eleven.

Real Madrid players picked - six

Arsenal players picked - five

I've got carried away again, haven't I?

Back to the proper stuff.

It has just been mentioned to me by my dear colleagues that I threw them off by going right-back and then left-back before two centre-backs.

They were of the opinion I should have gone right-back, centre-back, centre-back, left-back.

This is the real debate of the afternoon.

For nothing but my own amusement. Thumbs up for my way, thumbs down for theirs.

That's it CR, stoke the fire!

If you feel strongly like CR here you don't have to just use the thumbs. Get those messages in.

Run to the defence of your man.

Speaking of defence..

CENTRE-BACKS!

What stats would you like compared, CR? Happy to oblige.
