French referee, François Letexier has been named as the match official in charge of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) quarter-final second leg between Real Madrid and Arsenal.
The Ligue 1 referee will take charge of the high-stake encounter at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.
Madrid, who are the current holders, were thrashed 3-0 at Emirates during the first leg of the encounter.
The Los Blancos will be looking to overturn the deficit when they host the North London club this week.

Prior to the decision to name Letexier as the referee in charge of the eagerly anticipated game, UEFA had previously picked him to officiate the Euro 2020 final in Germany between Spain and England.
This is the fifth time the 35-year-old will be refereeing a Real Madrid fixture.
Letexier was in charge of the group stage clash where the Madrid team lost 2-0 to Liverpool this season.
Last season, he also took charge of the first leg of the quarterfinals at the Santiago Bernabéu against Manchester City, which ended in a 3-3 draw, and the group stage clash against Napoli, where Real Madrid won 4-2.
