As Arsenal prepare to face Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, the North London side are left pondering what could have been.
Arsenal have a colossal task ahead of them in their UEFA Champions League (UCL) quarter-final showdown against 15-time champions Real Madrid.
The Gunners host the Spanish giants at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, with the return leg set for April 16 at the iconic Santiago Bernabeu.
While the on-pitch battle promises fireworks, there's an intriguing subplot surrounding two of Real Madrid's biggest stars, Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe.
Both could have been wearing the red and white of Arsenal had early transfer pursuits materialized.

Why Shujaa face World Sevens Series relegation despite reaching cup final in Singapore
Kenya Sevens had an impressive Singapore Sevens leg, where they reached the cup final, but that was not enough as they still stare at the prospect of World Sevens Series relegation.
Arsene Wenger's Interest in Kylian Mbappe
)
Kylian Mbappe burst onto the European football scene in 2016, dazzling with his blistering pace and clinical finishing for AS Monaco.
His performances drew instant comparisons to Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, who also began his professional journey with the French outfit.
Recognizing the generational talent, then-Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger attempted to bring Mbappe to the Emirates.
In a June 2024 interview with French broadcaster TF1, Wenger revealed the extent of his efforts.

Former Tottenham youth prospect bids to make history with Kenya at U-20 AFCON
Obiero, who arrived in the Rising Stars camp earlier this week, will be hoping to make the final 21-man squad for the upcoming tournament.
“I went to his parents and tried to convince them,” said Wenger, as quoted by Goal.com.
“At the time, he was a little shy, people were starting to ask him for his first autographs in Monaco.”
Despite Wenger's personal intervention, Arsenal’s efforts were ultimately in vain. Mbappe chose to sign his first professional contract with Monaco in May 2016, pledging his future to the club until 2019.
That decision paved the way for a sensational move to Paris Saint-Germain, and eventually to Real Madrid.

Mohammed Bajaber advised best European leagues to choose from if he decides to move abroad
Mohammed Bajaber is reported to be attracting interest from clubs abroad and he has been told the most suitable European countries that will not waste his talents.
Mbappe thus joined a long list of elite players that Wenger nearly signed, including his current teammate Jude Bellingham.
Arsenal's Missed Opportunity to Sign Jude Bellingham
)
Jude Bellingham’s meteoric rise began at Birmingham City, where he made 44 senior appearances in England’s second tier before moving to Borussia Dortmund.
Today, he is one of Real Madrid’s most influential players, but his career could have taken a different path to North London.
According to The Daily Mail, Arsenal made a formal approach for Bellingham when he was just 14 and part of Birmingham's youth setup.
The Gunners were reportedly close to sealing the deal but were thwarted by a minor administrative hiccup.

Mohammed Bajaber reveals dream pairing that is yet feature for Harambee Stars
Harambee Stars and Kenya Police midfielder Mohammed Bajaber has revealed his dream pairing that was previously courted by the club but yet to feature for Kenya.
An unforeseen delay of just 48 hours in finalizing the compensation fee proved costly. The delay saw Arsenal’s opportunity to sign one of England’s brightest prospects evaporate.
As Arsenal prepare to test themselves against Real Madrid’s formidable firepower, there’s a sense of irony in the fact that two of their biggest threats, Mbappe and Bellingham, were once within reach.
