Star's explosive edge gives La Liga side hope of overturning 3-0 deficit against Arsenal
-
MADRID - Kylian Mbappe joined Real Madrid in search of Champions League glory, and he will be hoping to be on the right side of exactly the kind of magical night they need against Arsenal on April 16, if they are to progress to the semi-finals.
The Gunners lead 3-0 after dismantling the holders in London last week in the first leg of their quarter-final, leaving Real craving the sort of dramatic comeback the 15-time winners are renowned for.
Recovering from a three-goal defeat would be a step further than anything Los Blancos have managed so far.
But that is precisely why they lured Mbappe to the club, with the French superstar's explosive edge giving Real hope of achieving what appears to be borderline impossible.
"Of course we can," said Mbappe, on Real's chances of going through, on April 8 after Arsenal's stunning home win.
Declan Rice struck two sublime free kicks and Mikel Merino added a third goal to help Mikel Arteta's side put one foot in the final four.
