A team of Arsenal and Real Madrid legends will face each other at the Santiago Bernabeu in aid of charity on June 3.

All proceeds are set to go to the Real Madrid Foundation - a project aimed at helping children in need.

Both teams have fielded a team of legends in the last two years. Madrid beat AS Roma legends 1-0 last year courtesy of a Fernando Morientes strike.

Arsenal hosted AC Milan Glorie at the Emirates in 2016 where a hat-trick from Kanu and a goal from Robert Pires give the Gunners a 4-2 victory.

Real president Florentino Perez expressed his delight of being able to welcome Arsenal to the Spanish capital.

"One more year we are here to present a new edition of what has become one of our solidarity traditions. An event of the most emotional of which we celebrate each season," he said.

"The Real Madrid and Arsenal will star this Heart Classic Match 2018 Football for Children, whose profits this time will be allocated to projects in the Real Madrid Foundation are aimed at children who need it most, the most vulnerable.
