Real Madrid face a daunting challenge at the Bernabéu next week.
After a heavy 3-0 loss to Arsenal at the Emirates in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, the Spanish giants now face the challenge of delivering an extraordinary performance to reverse the result.
Declan Rice struck twice from free kicks, while Mikel Merino added a third to give the Gunners a commanding lead heading into the return leg.

Real Madrid have a history of dramatic Champions League comebacks, but this time they’ll need an extraordinary performance to eliminate Arsenal.
Lucas Vázquez urged fans to keep the faith: “This team deserves trust and belief. We don’t usually lose twice in a row. Now we must work harder and believe more than ever.”
Defender Raúl Asencio stated: “We are fully confident we can make a comeback. If any team is capable of doing it, it’s us.”
We need the Bernabéu at full force.”
Manager Carlo Ancelotti didn’t sugarcoat the situation in his press conference: “We’ve made comebacks before—we must do it again. Tonight, we lacked football. “Next week, we must give our all from the first minute to the last.”
Madrid now turn their attention to La Liga, where they face Alavés on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Arsenal will look to narrow the gap on league leaders Liverpool with a victory over Brentford on Saturday.
