Arsenal is aiming to bounce back after two consecutive defeats and is focusing on becoming more ruthless with their opportunities to turn their season around. Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham broke his goal drought for Real Madrid with a strike against Osasuna, signaling a return to form for the England star.
