Bellingham: RMA need an ‘unbelievably special’ display to turn around UCL tie

Jude Bellingham has given a damn assessment of Real Madrid's performance against Arsenal by admitting that they were 'lucky' to admit only three in their first stage of the Champions League quartefinal.

The ruling European champions suffered a 3-0 loss with the Emirates to let their deficiency defense hang on a thread.

Declan Rice produced two stunning second half of free kicks to set Arsenal 2-0 in the night before Mikel Merino shot a third home for the hosts.

Real Madrid Star Bellingham admitted after the game that the result could have been even worse for Los Blancos.

The midfielder of England claimed that the Spanish giants were 'nowhere in the neighborhood' and admitted that they now need something 'incredibly special' to turn the draw.

“We were nowhere in the neighborhood, that is the fact and Arsenal was really good,” Bellingham told Amazon Prime. 'Two of the goals are really good free kicks, but to be honest they could have had much more.

'But there is a second stage, we hold it, we need something incredibly special.

'You never know, but I can't come out and say we will give up, it's not in the nature of the club and the mentality they teach you.

She [the free kicks] are two pieces of individual quality. If it was not for them, they still had a number of opportunities and we were punished and that happens.

“We had a chance, but you have to make more in these games. Very rarely you come here and you score one and go on. We just didn't do enough, there have been several times in the last third part, but they responded well and we didn't do enough with the ball.

“We still live, we still have 90 minutes.”
