Real Madrid Needs Miracle to Recover from Heavy Defeat Against Arsenal

Real Madrid suffered a heavy blow when visiting Arsenal’s home ground in the Champions League—quarter-final first leg losing 0-3, which puts their position at serious risk of elimination from the competition.

Declan Rice shone with two goals for Arsenal, while Mikel Merino added to Los Blancos‘ misery with an additional goal.

The Champions League defending champions now face an extremely difficult task — they must score at least four unanswered goals in the second leg to continue their journey in this competition.

Despite the grim situation, the Real Madrid squad remains optimistic about achieving a remontada — a term referring to dramatic comebacks that have become part of the club’s history.

The second leg of this high-stakes tie will be played at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium—where Real Madrid will count on their home support and historical pedigree to attempt a monumental turnaround.
