Real Madrid ultras are planning something that they never usually do ahead of their must-win second leg against Arsenal on Wednesday night.
Madrid were left completely shellshocked in London last week after Mikel Arteta's side put three past the European champions through Declan Rice and Mikel Merino.
Rice got Arsenal's party started with two of the best free kicks the Champions League has ever seen before Merino's first-time effort put the icing on the cake.

Despite being the king of comebacks, Madrid have never overturned a three-goal deficit after a first-leg defeat, but speaking ahead of the game Jude Bellingham has insisted the word 'remontada' is all he's been hearing.
It's not just the Madrid players who are planning something that's never been done before, with the Madrid ultras also going above and beyond to create the best atmosphere possible.
Following the disastrous result in London, the official Madrid Ultra account on X announced that the fanbase would be holding an extremely rare coach meet to welcome the two teams on Wednesday.

Their post read: "Those who never fail... April 16th, starting at 7:30 p.m. COME WITH YOUR REAL MADRID FLAG!"
The fanbase has also prepared an intimidating tifo for the start of the game, with the words 'The Dream Factory, Make Yours Real' set to cover the South end alongside a king handling the pieces on a chessboard.
The Bernabeu is set to be rocking ahead of kick-off, but Carlo Ancelotti has insisted that Madrid don't necessarily need an early goal to spark the comeback.

"I don't think so," he said.
"Of course, scoring early is an important part of the game. But the most important part for me is to have the control of the game.
"It's about trying your best at the beginning to have that control and when you have that, you can score any minute," he added.
