Jude Bellingham fires warning to Arsenal: 'It's a night made for Real Madrid' | OneFootball

Bellingham targets another Champions League miracle at the Bernabeu

Real Madrid downed Bayern Munich in last season’s semi-finals by way of a late brace from former Stoke City striker Joselu, and came from behind to beat both Chelsea and Manchester City on the way to the 2021-22 title.

Leaning on that pedigree, Bellingham said the squad are quietly confident in pulling off another miracle and had set their sights on doing so immediately after the disappointment of the first leg.

He continued: “We do think that it will be difficult, but the more you speak to the other lads and see how confident they are, it rubs off on you. It’s infectious. It makes you a lot more comfortable and confident about the situation.

“By the time we were back on the coach [after the first leg] we were all, not in good spirits obviously, but realised we could still be in the competition.”

“It is a weird environment at the minute. It's one of the worst results we could possibly imagine away, and for some reason, people think it is nailed on that we will come back.

“It means people trust the talent and the club and recognise you’re at one of the best clubs in the world. There’s a pressure that comes with it, but that’s what it's all about.”
