Jude Bellingham: Arsenal second place “Night made for Real Madrid”
Jude Bellingham He said that the quarter -finals in the Champions League on Wednesday against Arsenal is “a night made to Real Madrid”, where he supported his team to provide a return “that would decrease in history” in Bernabeu.
Madrid is famous for the return of the Champions League-at the end of it to the 2022 final, when they disturbed the difficulties to eliminate Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City in Bernabeu-but they had never canceled a match deficit in the first 3-0 match.
European heroes were poor last week in the UAE, where they collapsed to give up three goals in 17 minutes during the second half, but they were talking at a press conference before the match on Tuesday, Bellingham said that Madrid was “confident” that another return was produced.
“I have heard it a million times since last week,” said Bellingham. “It is a night made for Real Madrid, and it is a night that decreases in history … it is a strange environment. [Losing 3-0] It was one of the worst results that we could imagine away, and for some reason everyone thinks that we will return. It is a beautiful feeling in some way. “
Bellingham joined Madrid in 2023, won the Champions League and Laja in his first season, and has already participated in some unforgettable return on its own, including the semi -finals last year at the front. Josello He scored two late goals in two minutes in Bernabeu to strike Bayern Munich.
“It is something you want to be part of it, to add to the history of this club,” said Billingham when asked about the possibility of another return against Arsenal. “There is not much that you can do in this club that has not been done before, and tomorrow we want to do something for the first time.”
“What makes us confident is the quality that we have, the history of the club, Hala Bernabeu,” Bellingham added. “I think we felt that although we played badly as much as we could [in the first leg]We still have opportunities, and moments, where I felt as if we have increased our level and helped you more than awake, we can be in [the game]”
Madrid has faced criticism of its performances in recent weeks, with three games without winning-equivalent to 4-4 with real Sociedad in Cuba del Rey, a 2-1 defeat against Valencia and Arsenal loss-before the narrow victory on Saturday 1-0 against Alavés.
“We definitely showed in some games this year that we are able to do something special,” Bellingham insisted. “I must be confident in the team, and this has nothing to do with history. It is related to the boys I see in training every day.”
Coach Carlo Ancelotti said that he “does not believe” that the result of Wednesday will decide his future as a manager – amid speculation that the Italian could leave this summer if Madrid fails to decline in the main awards – and said striker Kylian Mbappe “is enthusiastic” after his red card against Albus.
Ancelotti said: “He has been disappointed,” Ancelotti said. “He trained well yesterday … We have to score goals, and this season scored a lot of goals. We need his goals more than ever tomorrow.”
