Bellingham Admits Real Madrid Were Lucky After Arsenal’s 3-0 Game
Jude Bellingham has admitted that Real Madrid were fortunate not to have suffered an even heavier defeat against Arsenal after their 3-0 loss in the Champions League quarter-final first leg on Tuesday.
Arsenal dominated the match, with Declan Rice delivering a man-of-the-match performance, scoring two incredible free kicks in the second half. Mikel Merino added a third to seal a sensational win for the Gunners at the Emirates.
Bellingham, reflecting on the game, acknowledged that Madrid was completely outplayed by Mikel Arteta’s side. He said, “We’re lucky to get away with only three. We were nowhere near it. Arsenal were really good. Even though two of their goals were free kicks, they could have scored even more.”
Despite the heavy defeat, Bellingham is holding on to hope for the second leg, adding, “There’s still a second leg, and that’s what we’re focused on.”
