Real Madrid has to produce a sensational comeback to do Arsenal in their quarter-final-significance of the Champions League with all the talk in Spain of 'La Remontada' in the Bernabeuu
All the talk in Madrid in the last few days was from 'La Remontada' as Real Madrid offer to create another European memory by falling Arsenal. The Gunners go to the Spanish capital with a 3-0 lead, but the locals believe that a comeback can take place.
The two beautiful free kicks of Declan Rice gave Arsenal an impressive lead on the Champions League holders, who now have a huge tough task for their own patch. Much really saw the favorites for the tournament, especially after they added Kylian Mbappe to an already winning team.
The Premier League side, however, showed that they had more than enough last week to be able to handle loose blancos and are in a strong position because they offer to make the last four in Europe. However, they know that the job has only been done half and if a party has consistently demonstrated that it can overcome the opportunities in the Champions League, it is real – the team that has won the tournament in six of the past 11 years.
Some of those victories include the most miraculous comebacks and Arsenal will be desperate to ensure that they are not the autumn boys in another epic story, which will somehow be closed in the Bernabeu.
What is 'La Remontada'?
In Spanish it means 'the comeback' and in recent years it really has enough to give them hope. Returning to last year and Bayern Munich seemed to have control over their semi-final in Madrid, with 1-0 on the night and 3-2 aggregated with two minutes to play.
Joselu scored an equalizer and then produced the winner in stopping time, but only after VAR was intervened to destroy the original non -Comorestane goal. Two years before, Manchester City were on the receiving side, this time it was Rodrygo who scored twice clockwise in red in another epic semi -final.
Jude Bellingham tasted Champions League -Glorie last year and the conversation of another real comeback was the only thing that was discussed in Madrid. He said, “Remontada …[comeback] I heard it about a million times this week, I have seen a million videos online. “
The 21-year-old added: “There is not much that you can do for Real Madrid in the Champions League that has not yet been done. Tomorrow is an opportunity for us to do something for the first time and that is really important to us. It is a strange environment in the last days.
“One of the worst results that we might imagine and for some reason everyone thinks it is nailed that we will come back.
In the history of the Champions League, only three teams have lost first legs with three goals or more, just to continue and lose the draw. The most remarkable example is when PSG defeated Barcelona 4-0 in Paris, to lose in the last minute with a goal with a goal in the Nou camp.
Barcelona has been on the receiving side twice and won well against Roma and Liverpool in 2019 in 2019, to be eliminated. While in 2004 AC Milan, then holders, defeated Deportivo La Coruna 4-1 before he lost the return bone in Spain 4-0.
