Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, is confident that his team can defeat Arsenal in their next Champions League match by putting on a “remontada.”
“Remontada,” which means “the comeback” in Spanish, gained widespread recognition after Barcelona pulled off a spectacular comeback against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in March 2017, defeating the French team 6-1 at Camp Nou to advance with a 6-5 aggregate record after falling behind 4-0 in the first leg.
Following a 3-0 loss to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg, Real Madrid is currently in a remarkably comparable standing.
After 30 games, Real Madrid is now in second place in La Liga, behind their bitter rivals Barcelona in the race for the championship. This time is crucial for the team’s success and morale because they have already lost both of their meetings with Barcelona this season and will face them again later this month in the Copa del Rey final.
However, with seven games left, Arsenal is currently in second place in the Premier League, 11 points behind champions Liverpool. The stakes are high for a match that might determine each team’s season as they prepare for this crucial matchup.
