At this point, it is clear that Real Madrid’s focus is solely on the UEFA Champions League tie against Arsenal where they trail by a staggering three-goal margin.
A humiliating first-leg performance saw Los Blancos humiliated at the Emirates Stadium and many have written them off from the competition claiming the comeback is impossible.
However, history is a testament that second legs against Real Madrid are simply unpredictable, more so when they are at Santiago Bernabeu.
Preparing for a comeback
As relayed by El Chiringuito in a recent update, Carlo Ancelotti and Co. are going all out to pull off a stunning comeback that can not only set off the deficit but eliminate Arsenal and seal their progression.
While there is no doubt that it will be a herculean task to pull this off, the players and the management have the belief that they can do it.
The outlet relays that Real Madrid have now prepared an emotional video comprising the comebacks the club has mounted across the years to motivate the players ahead of the second leg against Arsenal and will this reignite the Real Madrid spirit in them.
As per the current plan, the video will be shown to the players on Wednesday night, just before the game kicks off, and they hope it will be enough to fire the squad up.
It remains to be seen how the entire situation affects Real Madrid’s game against Alaves this weekend, for the men in white are also treading a tightrope in the league.
A slip-up against Alaves will be forgotten if they can indeed mount a comeback against Arsenal, but it is equally likely they end up squandering both.
