Real Madrid Confidencial Morientes's Unexpected Response About Real Madrid's Comeback: 'Not Even Arteta'
The former Madrid player has commented on the comeback against Arsenal, and his response is going to surprise
At Real Madrid, they have already activated comeback mode for this Wednesday against Arsenal. It's true that the 3-0 from the first leg makes advancing to the Champions League semifinals extremely difficult. But we already know that if anyone can do it, it's the merengue team.
Fernando Morientes has spoken about this possibility on Cadena Cope and has surprised everyone. First, he gave Real Madrid a 10 percent chance of turning the tie around. However, he added that "I love the feeling around this match”.
The former footballer of the white team recalled what has happened on other occasions in similar situations. “What Real Madrid has caused in recent years is such a brutal respect that not even Arteta considers the team the favorite” he pointed out. In memory are PSG, Chelsea, Manchester City, or Bayern, to name recent examples.
Moreover, the feeling that Madridists have, Morientes points out that it also “happens to anti-Madridists”. And he repeated that “what Real Madrid has caused, a kind of respect for that second leg at the Bernabéu”. Without a doubt, that could be the key to a comeback, which is played at the merengue stadium.
Few Chances but Madridism Knows It's Possible
No one in Madridism will tell you that the comeback is easy and practically done. They are aware that the 3-0 from the first leg has complicated the situation a lot, and they will have to fight for it. However, what happened in other seasons invites hope among the merengues.
Especially what happened in the 2022 semifinals, in the final minutes against Manchester City. Real Madrid needed two goals to send the match into extra time, and it seemed impossible. Only a 1 percent chance was given to the whites to be able to do it.
However, a brace from Rodrygo made it happen, recalling one of the most heroic comebacks remembered. Now they will have to repeat such a brilliant performance. It's complicated, but they know it's possible and are willing to repeat it.
