Real Madrid have sent a stern 16-word warning to Arsenal after their Champions League defeat at the Emirates Stadium.
Real Madrid Stunned by Arsenal in UCL First Leg, But RMTV Issues Defiant Warning Ahead of Bernabeu Return
Real Madrid suffered a bruising 3-0 defeat at the Emirates on Tuesday night in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash against Arsenal.
Two sublime free-kick goals from Declan Rice and a well-taken strike from Mikel Merino gave the Gunners a commanding lead heading into next week’s second leg at the Santiago Bernabéu.
With Arsenal fans already eyeing a potential semi-final showdown against either PSG or Aston Villa, Real Madrid are far from conceding the tie. Club broadcaster RMTV posted a clear message after the match:
“90 minutes at the Santiago Bernabéu is a very long time. It’s time to remember that.”
Los Blancos have a long history of dramatic comebacks in Europe, and though the odds are stacked against them, they remain confident.
Madrid winger Lucas Vázquez echoed that belief post-match, saying:
“This team deserves everyone’s trust and faith. We’re not used to losing two in a row. All we can do is work hard and believe more than ever.”
With the second leg looming, all eyes will be on Madrid to see if they can produce another classic European turnaround—or if Arsenal can hold their ground and march into the semi-finals.
Real Madrid’s Defenders and Ancelotti Vow to Fight Back After Arsenal Defeat
Following their heavy 3-0 loss to Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final, Real Madrid defenders are rallying for a comeback.
Raúl Asencio issued a bold statement, saying:
“We are absolutely convinced we can make a comeback. If any team can do it, it’s us. We need the Bernabéu next week.”
Carlo Ancelotti, the Madrid boss, was equally defiant in his post-match press conference, saying:
“We’ve made many comebacks before, and we need to do it again. We must look ahead.”
He also admitted that his team lacked their usual level of play, stressing:
“Tonight, we lacked football. We have to give everything in the second leg, from the first minute to the last.”
Madrid will look to bounce back in La Liga this weekend with a match against Alavés on Sunday, while Arsenal aim to close the gap to Liverpool in the Premier League by beating Brentford on Saturday.
