Real Madrid is recovering from a surprising 3-0 defeat to Arsenal, who will come to the Santiago Bernabeu with a solid advantage for the second leg of the quarter-finals. Despite this setback, the team has already started discussing a potential comeback for next Wednesday.
After the match, coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed his belief in a better performance for the second leg, even though the loss raised questions about his future. Jude Bellingham was critical of his team’s display but acknowledged that the Santiago Bernabeu is a place where comebacks can happen. Star player Kylian Mbappe had the best opportunity for Real Madrid during the game and later shared a motivational message on Instagram, saying, “You have to believe until the end.”
As he left the Emirates Stadium, Mbappe was asked if a historic comeback was possible. He responded with a puzzled “of course” to El Chiringuito. Lucas Vazquez and Raul Asencio also spoke to the media, echoing the sentiment that a comeback is definitely achievable.
Mbappe recently showed his incredible skills by scoring a fantastic hat-trick against Manchester City in the play-off round. While he has been one of Real Madrid’s top attackers lately, he faced criticism after the team narrowly defeated Atletico Madrid on penalties, despite not playing their best. All eyes will be on Mbappe as he tries to lead the team in their comeback effort against Arsenal next week, even though it seems challenging after such a tough first leg.
