Madrid people do not live by miracles. In them, there is a survival instinct - the instinct was honed over a decade of fighting in many arenas, especially the Champions League, the tournament they were "king" and also the place where football was raised to a belief.
After a 0-3 defeat to Arsenal in the first leg, perhaps most of them said that Real Madrid would be eliminated. But one thing people often forget: Real Madrid never died when the whistle of the fullness did not resound. It is the identity, the pride, the giant "ego" of a team that has many times looked straight into the abyss and turned spectacularly.
People used to think that PSG ended them in 2022. When Chelsea, Man City were the destructive machines that were "white vultures". But then, at the Bernabeu, all were swallowed by something bigger than the tactics. What people call it the winning DNA, the Champions League DNA always exists inside the Royal team, at any historical period.
Real Madrid may now no longer have Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, Casemiro, Toni Kroos, Karim Benzema ... but they still have Luka Modric, Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham and strange light when the Champions League calls the name. They do not need to say much. They only need 90 minutes to make history rewrite.
The difficulty for Real Madrid is a matter of personnel as well as Arsenal bring a scary performance, a modern and youthful gameplay. But the "Gunners" will have to kick at the Bernabeu - where many opponents have been trembling against a Real Madrid being put into the foot of the wall.
The result of a 0-3 loss in the first leg was admitted by coach Carlo Ancelotti and the students were because they were not good. But surrender is not in their dictionary. It is admitting that they play badly, looking directly at the truth will help them draw their lessons, plus the so -called "Madridismo - Madrid spirit", making their strength scary and 3 goals, suddenly, not too much.
Real Madrid does not need to ensure victory. They just need to make the opponent believe that nothing is sure. And in one European night, Huyen or, between the four sides of the stands like the sea of people, maybe there is another history. Not because Real Madrid wants, but because the Champions League needs them as part of flesh and blood.
