Carlo Ancelotti Makes Arsenal Admission After Crushing Champions League Exit

But comeback kings say they 'will get it done' After the first leg at the Emirates, Real's England star Jude Bellingham said: "One place where crazy things happen is our house." Speaking at Tuesday's news conference, Bellingham added: "It's a night that's made for Real Madrid. "A night that would go down in history but also something that people are familiar with around this part of this world. Hopefully we can add another special night." No Champions League campaign epitomised that more than in 2021-22, when Real pulled off sensational fightbacks against PSG, Chelsea and then Manchester City in one of the most incredible runs in the competition's history. Last season they were minutes away from losing their semi-final tie with Bayern Munich before turning things around with two late goals at the Bernabeu. In both of those campaigns, Ancelotti's side went on to win the competition. "We know we're strong at home with our fans," said goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. "If we score one or two, quickly... I think it's possible." It is that 'never say die' attitude that has served Real so well over the years.
