Jude Bellingham has backed Real Madrid to get out of a "hole" in Wednesday's quarter-final second leg against Arsenal on a night "made" for another famous comeback by the Spanish giants.
Champions League holders Real Madrid trail 3-0 from the first leg after Declan Rice's stunning free-kicks and Mikel Merino's goal gave Arsenal a commanding lead at the Emirates Stadium.
The result has left Carlo Ancelotti's side with a mountain to climb but their extraordinary history of European comebacks ensures the mood remains optimistic among players and supporters.
Bellingham helped Real Madrid win the competition for the 15th time last season but, speaking at a press conference in Madrid on Tuesday, he admitted the level of belief has surprised him.
