Real Madrid Hungry To Pull Off 'Remontada' Against Arsenal, Says Jude Bellingham
@Source: news18.com
Real Madrid facing elimination from the UEFA Champions League? No worries, says Jude Bellingham.
The English midfielder stated there’s been no lack of belief and confidence within Los Blancos’ ranks, who fully believe they will pull off their own ‘Remontada’ against Arsenal on Wednesday night.
A dismal and disappointing night at the Emirates last week saw the feared Madrid side crumble under the brilliance of one Declan Rice and Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, succumbing to a 0-3 defeat in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal.
Facing an uphill task in a troubled period, Madrid stands with one foot outside the door already, and history against them (as Real has never previously overturned a first-leg defeat of this magnitude in the Champions League era)
However, Bellingham said Real Madrid’s belief, history, and quality otherwise will power the record 15-time winners to reach the semi-finals.

“It’s a weird environment, the last few days, it was one of the worst (first leg) results we could possibly imagine, and for some reason everyone thinks it’s nailed-on we’ll come back, and it’s a nice feeling I have to say,” the England international told a press conference on Tuesday.
“It means there’s a lot of trust in the talent, it means that you’re at a club that’s like no other, the best in the world, and that’s what it represents and signifies to me.
“There’s a pressure that comes along with that for sure, we want to deliver on what everyone thinks, that we can come back and that’s obviously the goal for us.”
Bellingham added that the word ‘Remontada’ — comeback in Spanish — has well and truly taken over the Spanish capital, with the expectations at an all-time high.
“Remontada… I’ve heard it about a million times this week, I’ve seen a million videos online,” continued Bellingham.
“(It’s) really motivating stuff, it’s a night that’s made for Real Madrid, a night that people are familiar with in this part of the world, hopefully, we can add another special night.”
It will be all to play for Real Madrid, who will take on the Gunners at the Santiago Bernabeu tonight in their highly-anticipated second leg of their UCL quarterfinal.
