Former Arsenal midfielder Dani Ceballos is preparing to face his ex-club in the Champions League with Real Madrid on Wednesday and he has a clear message for them.

The Gunners head to the Spanish capital looking to defend their 3-0 lead from the first-leg after ripping apart the European champions at the Emirates Stadium.

Declan Rice’s two stunning free kicks and Mikel Merino’s fourth career goal against Real Madrid means Los Blancos have plenty of work to do at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Speaking ahead of the mammoth clash, Ceballos has issued a strong warning to Arsenal as they gear up for the match at the Bernabeu.
