Jude Bellingham warns Arsenal after Real Madrid’s 3-0 defeat in the Champions League quarter-final first leg. Despite the loss, Bellingham insists the tie is not over. Real Madrid will host Arsenal at the Santiago Bernabeu for the second leg, hoping to mount a comeback.
Jude Bellingham has fired an ominous warning to Arsenal following Real Madrid's heavy 3-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Despite the devastating loss, Bellingham made it clear that the tie is far from over, sharing the message "Not over yet" on his Instagram story.
Arsenal's dominant display, led by Declan Rice’s brace and a goal from Mikel Merino, has given them a commanding lead in the tie. However, Bellingham’s performance on the pitch showed his determination, despite being at fault for the second goal after a challenge on Thomas Partey outside the box that led to Rice’s stunning free kick.
Real Madrid, the reigning champions, now face the monumental task of overturning the deficit in the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu on April 16. Before the crucial Champions League clash, they will face Alaves in La Liga.
With the tie still very much alive, Bellingham's message underscores the fighting spirit within Carlo Ancelotti's squad as they prepare for the return leg. Arsenal will have to maintain their composure in Madrid as the defending champions seek an unlikely comeback.
