Real Madrid, the current UEFA Champions League champions, have warned Arsenal to prepare for a “very long” ninety minutes.
After a convincing 3-0 victory in the first leg of their quarterfinal match in London, Arsenal will take on Real Madrid at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu with the goal of securing their spot in the Champions League semi-finals.
Real Madrid is committed to making a historic comeback, while the Gunners are eager to build on their advantage.
Real Madrid is renowned for their incredible late-game heroics, having pulled off incredible comebacks during their title drives in 2022 and 2024, but they have never historically overcome a three-goal lead from the first leg in the Champions League.
Madrid shocked Manchester City in the last seconds of regulation play in the 2022 semi-finals by scoring two goals to force extra time and advance with a 6-5 aggregate score.
Joselu’s late brace significantly changed the tide and guaranteed the team’s spot in the finals the following year, just as they were about to lose to Bayern Munich.
UEFA has granted Real Madrid’s request to close the roof at the Bernabeu in order to improve the matchday atmosphere. The fans are expected to have an incredible time as they support Carlo Ancelotti’s team as they attempt to make a comeback.
In a gripping social media post on the morning of the pivotal second leg, Real Madrid translated the words “Ninety minutes at the Bernabeu are very long” into several languages, showcasing their tenacious spirit and capturing the excitement of the match.
“There is an expectation from around the world that when we find ourselves in these challenging situations, we can emerge victorious, even when it appears daunting,” Jude Bellingham, a crucial player for Real Madrid, said confidently during a pre-match press conference.
