Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe said after their humiliating defeat at Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final that they have to “believe until the end” to pull off a comeback at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid suffered one of the most painful and unexpected defeats in its last 10 years in the Champions League. The ‘Merengues’ were completely outclassed by an Arsenal side led by a stellar Declan Rice who scored two stunning free kicks.
However, ‘Los Blancos’ still have an ace up their sleeve, and that is that the Gunners will have to withstand the storm and pressure of the Santiago Bernabeu in the return leg on Wednesday next week.
Madrid’s iconic comebacks at home have become a tradition, which has led to the vast majority of players in the squad talking about a possible comeback despite being crushed by the Gunners.
Kylian Mbappe, who was one of the most notable players in Madrid’s attack at the Emirates, also made it clear that they will try to comeback until the end. “The comeback is possible, of course. We have to believe until the end.”
