Bellingham: We're Lucky It Was Only 3–Miracles Can Happen at the Bernabéu
Bellingham: Real Madrid is lucky to have only lost 3 goals, and a miracle may happen when returning to the Bernabeu
In a key match of the Champions League knockout round, Real Madrid lost 1-3 to Manchester City away. After the game, Real Madrid midfielder Bellingham admitted in an interview that the team was very lucky to have only lost 3 goals, and said that returning to the Bernabeu, everything is possible.
Game review: Real Madrid fell into a passive situation when encountering a strong enemy away from home
In this highly anticipated match, Manchester City was in full swing at home. With the outstanding performance of De Bruyne and Haaland, Real Madrid was suppressed almost without any chance to fight back. Although Real Madrid also created several threatening opportunities, the rhythm of the whole game was completely controlled by the Blue Moon Army.
Bellingham performed well in the game. Although he ran actively and frequently returned to defense, he and his teammates seemed a little struggling in organization in the face of Manchester City's high-pressure midfield pressure. After the game, he said: "We have to admit that we didn't play to our level tonight. Manchester City played very well. To be honest, we were lucky to lose only three goals."
Bellingham looks forward to the second leg: I believe we can reverse the situation at home
Despite the unfavorable score in the first leg, Bellingham did not lose confidence. He said: "We are back at the Bernabeu, everything is possible. We know who we are, this is a team that never gives up easily. The fans will be our strongest backing, and we have created miracles at home."
These words evoked the fans' "metaphysical" memories of Real Madrid in the Champions League. In the past few seasons, Real Madrid has reversed and advanced many times when it was not optimistic. From Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, to Manchester City and Liverpool, the Bernabeu has witnessed too many incredible counterattacks.
Coach Ancelotti supports his players, the team will prepare for the game with all their strength
Head coach Ancelotti also cheered up the players at the post-match press conference, saying: "We know this is not our best performance, but the game is not over yet. Back in Madrid, we will cause trouble for Manchester City."
Bellingham, as an important piece of Real Madrid's signings this season, has always assumed important responsibilities in midfield organization and offensive advancement. His highlight performance at the beginning of the season once amazed the fans, and now is the time for him to step up again.
Conclusion: Can Real Madrid's "magic" reappear?
There is no absolute in the world of football, especially on the stage of the Champions League. Real Madrid has made "impossible" a reality time and time again, and now they are standing in front of the door of miracles again. As Bellingham said: "We still have 90 minutes, or even more time, and everything is not over yet."
Bernabeu, get ready for another exciting night.
