Real Madrid brutally lost to Arsenal to crash out of the Champions League earlier this season. A 3-0 loss at the Emirates Stadium, followed by a 2-1 loss at the Santiago Bernabeu - it was a bad week for Los Blancos and their fans, and it ended in humiliation at home.

Some like to claim this was the game that made them want to switch coaches and bring in a few players to bolster the squad, which may be right. Real Madrid do not like embarrassment in the Champions League, so it makes sense.

Arsenal had some standouts against Real Madrid, and the Spanish club may look for revenge off the pitch at some point in the next 365 days.

Real Madrid's ultimate revenge on Arsenal may be off the pitch

One of the players who were really good in that tie was Myles Lewis-Skelly, who played out of position and was still one of the best players on the pitch as a teenager.

Real Madrid fans could only applaud at his brilliance, and now, it may be their revenge plan.

That is, according to MARCA. The report says that Real Madrid really like Myles Lewis-Skelly, and although Ibrahima Konate is the favorite to sign as a free agent, according to that report, Lewis-Skelly is still an option.

Frankly speaking, Lewis-Skelly is one of the best young players in the world right now. He has maturity that is way ahead of his age, and it makes complete sense to want to go for a player like him when he is free.

Even Fabrizio Romano said on Sunday night that Real Madrid are interested in signing the player as a free agent, but at the same time, Arsenal are also confident to get the renewal done by then.

However, if the two parties cannot agree on terms, I think it is a no-brainer that Real Madrid are there to plot revenge on Arsenal by taking one of their most important players for the future as a free agent.
