Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham believes Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Arsenal is "a night made for Real Madrid" as they aim to overturn a 3-0 deficit from the first leg. Bellingham, who scored the opening goal in Real's 1-1 draw with Arsenal in La Liga last weekend, is confident his side can turn the tie around at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium (20:00 BST). Real Madrid have lost by three or more goals in the first leg of a European knockout tie on five previous occasions, with their only successful comeback occurring in the 1975-76 European Cup against Derby County. Bellingham acknowledges the challenge but emphasizes the opportunity for Real to create history. Arsenal's England midfielder Declan Rice, who scored two free-kicks in the first leg, was a standout performer for Arsenal, and Bellingham praised his set-piece skills. The second leg will be shown on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app, with a Champions League Match of the Day on BBC One following the game.
