After a shocking 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg, Real Madrid fans are left asking one big question: Can there be a remontada at the Bernabéu?

Let’s be honest no one expected that kind of result in London. Arsenal came out with intensity, hunger and also a clear plan and they executed it very well. Two fine free kicks from Declan Rice doubled the lead and Merino sealed the night with a third that sent the Emirates crowd into a frenzy. Madrid, meanwhile, looked completely disjointed in midfield, shaky in defense and unusually quiet in attack.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side just didn’t look like themselves. The current UCL champions struggled to find control in the middle , while Vinícius Jr and Mbappe were tightly marked and unable to create their usual magic.Infact, Real Madrid’s attack was shut down by Arsenal’s relentless defense despite of missing Gabriel Magalhaes due to injury and was replaced by Jakub Kiwior.

Even though Real Madrid suffered that heavy loss, it would be foolish to write them off. If there’s one thing this club knows how to do, it’s turning impossible situations into legendary comebacks. Just ask PSG, Chelsea or Manchester City.Each of them thought they had the tie in the bag, only to fall victim to the Bernabéu magic in recent years.

That’s what makes the second leg so fascinating. The Santiago Bernabéu is more than just a stadium; it’s a pressure cooker, a theater of dreams and a nightmare for visiting teams. When the Madridistas fill those stands and start chanting, the atmosphere becomes electric and overwhelming for the opposition, .

Ancelotti will need to go all in. We should expect a more aggressive Madrid in the return leg, pressing high, throwing numbers forward, and taking risks. If they can grab an early goal, the momentum could shift dramatically. We have seen this movie before.

But let’s not forget that Arsenal isn’t the same team they were a few seasons ago. Mikel Arteta has built something serious. They’re young, fearless and playing with a belief that they can go all the way. A 3-0 lead is huge and they will come into the Bernabéu ready to defend it with everything they’ve got and maybe even try to score more on the counter.
This is a chance for Arsenal to get close to a cup their fans dream about.They have never been closer in the past twenty years.One thing is certain you don’t want to miss this one.
