Real Madrid, despite a crushing 3-0 defeat at home to Arsenal in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, are still alive in the competition, according to midfielder Jude Bellingham. Bellingham believes his side can stage a dramatic comeback at the Santiago Bernabeu, pointing to their history of late goals in crucial Champions League matches. Manager Carlo Ancelotti shares this optimism, telling pundits that "there is always a first time" and that the comeback starts tonight. Despite the odds, former England winger Andros Townsend and ex-Arsenal defender Matthew Upson have advised caution, reminding fans of Real Madrid's ability to find solutions in dire situations. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is also wary of Real, acknowledging that his team will have to be even better in Madrid to progress. The second leg takes place on Wednesday, 16 April.
