Real Madrid is notorious for stunning comebacks in Europe, but this task may be more difficult than normal. Arsenal's outstanding first-leg performance, along with Madrid's present issues with form, injuries, and low team morale, makes a comeback more difficult.
When questioned about the prospect of a Real Madrid return, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta focused on his own group.
“We need to focus on what we can control,” Arteta said, via Mundo Deportivo. “We’ll prepare when the time comes. We know what’s ahead of us. We have to win again, improve on our first performance, and take another step forward.”

Arteta is fully aware of the challenge that awaits at the Santiago Bernabeu, which is expected to be filled with passionate Madrid supporters. As a result, Arsenal might adopt a more cautious, defensive strategy in the second leg, especially as Real Madrid deal with internal uncertainty, including questions surrounding Carlo Ancelotti’s future.
To lift the squad’s spirits, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez made a visit to the training ground at Valdebebas. Despite the odds, the team remains hopeful of staging a comeback at home.
