Kylian Mbappe remains confident that Real Madrid can overturn their Champions League quarter-final deficit against Arsenal despite a heavy first-leg defeat.
Real Madrid suffered a 3-0 loss at the Emirates Stadium, with Declan Rice scoring twice from free-kicks before Mikel Merino added another goal for the Gunners. The result left the holders facing a major challenge in the return leg.
However, Mbappe has refused to concede that the tie is already decided. The France international believes Madrid have enough quality and experience to produce a remarkable response at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Softfootball reports that Madrid will need a hugely improved performance if they are to erase the three-goal deficit and reach the semi-finals. The Spanish giants have a strong history of dramatic Champions League comebacks, which could give the squad additional belief.
Mbappe will be expected to play a leading role in Madrid’s attempt to rescue their European campaign. Despite being unable to prevent the first-leg defeat, the forward remains convinced that his side can fight back when the teams meet again.
