Madrid Memories: Our 2006 triumph over Real (www.arsenal.com)

After finishing top of a group including Ajax, Thun and Sparta Prague, our "reward" for reaching the knockout stages was a tussle with Real Madrid.

Coming into the tie we were almighty underdogs; written off by nearly every journalist, pundit and neutral football fan alike. We had won just four of our last 12 games in all competitions and our record against Spanish opposition was far from impressive. But if we were supposed to just roll over and die, someone must have forgotten to hand Thierry Henry the script.
