Jude Bellingham has sent a new Real Madrid warning to Arsenal ahead of their Champions League quarter-final second leg at the Bernabeu next Wednesday.

"And with Mikel it's again his commitment, his desire to learn the position, to constantly be thinking and what he can offer to the team. And the team adapting to his qualities to try to deliver the best outcome."

At the opposite end, even without Gabriel Magalhaes in defence,

“We were nowhere near it and Arsenal were really good," he told Amazon Prime. "I know two of their goals were free-kicks, but to be honest, they could’ve had way more. We’re lucky to get away with three [goals].”

However, it was only three, and Madrid have completed similar comebacks on the European stage before, with Bellingham attempting to instil belief that they can do it again.
