Coming back from a 3-0 deficit seems like an impossible mission. But at Real Madrid, they don't see it that way. Carlo Ancelotti and his players are clinging to the Bernabéu factor.

This season, they have already achieved seven home victories by three or more goals. Exactly what they need this Wednesday to stay alive in the Champions League.

The 7 Big Wins That Excite Madridists

Madrid has shown that they can score big. They have done it several times this year at the Bernabéu. These are the seven results that fuel the white hope:

  • 4-0 against Osasuna
  • 5-1 against Salzburg
  • 3-0 against Valladolid
  • 4-1 against Espanyol
  • 5-2 against Borussia Dortmund
  • 5-2 against Celta
  • 4-1 against Las Palmas

Two of those victories (against Osasuna and Salzburg) would serve to qualify directly. The other five would at least force extra time.

Although Arsenal is a much higher-level opponent, the numbers show that this Madrid does have scoring ability at home.

They Also Score Big Away from the Bernabéu

In addition to those home victories, Ancelotti's team has achieved another seven big wins away from the Bernabéu:

  • 0-3 against Leganés
  • 0-3 against Girona
  • 3-0 against Pachuca (Intercontinental)
  • 0-5 against Deportiva Minera (Copa del Rey)
  • 3-0 against Mallorca (Supercopa de España)
  • 0-3 against Valladolid (Liga)
  • 0-3 against Brest (Champions)

The ability to score three or more goals is there. With the Bernabéu atmosphere, anything can happen.

A Very Tough Opponent to Overcome

However, Arsenal won't make it easy. Mikel Arteta's team hasn't lost by three goals since May 2023, when Brighton defeated them 0-3 in the Premier League.

In Europe, you have to go back even further. Their last heavy defeat was in the 2018-19 Europa League final, against Chelsea (4-1).

Real Madrid needs a perfect match. Solid defense. A dominant midfield. An effective attack.

It won't be easy. But they have done it before. The Bernabéu has already witnessed many magical nights. Will this be another one?
