Arsenal will play against Real Madrid in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals at the Emirates Stadium on 8 April.
Ahead of the match, UEFA recently concluded an investigation into four Real Madrid players — Kylian Mbappe, Antonio Rudiger, Vinicius Jr, and Dani Ceballos. The probe was launched last month after Real’s dramatic penalty shootout win over Atletico Madrid in the round of 16.
The players were accused of making inappropriate gestures towards Atletico fans after the game.

On Friday, UEFA announced that Vinicius Jr, 24, from Brazil, will not face any punishment. However, the other three players were found guilty of breaking basic rules of good behaviour.
France striker Mbappe, 26, and Germany defender Rudiger, 32, were both fined — Mbappe £25,000 (30,000 euros) and Rudiger £35,000 (40,000 euros). They were also handed suspended one-match bans, which means the ban will only apply if they break the rules again.
Spanish midfielder Dani Ceballos, 28, was fined £17,000 (20,000 euros).
The second leg will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu on 16 April.
