COULD THE REAL MADRID PLEASE STAND UP

Bellingham still believes Los Blancos can stage remarkable comeback win

JUDE BELLINGHAM has warned that Real Madrid are so used to making comebacks, "everyone thinks it is "nailed on" they will overcome Arsenal.

Bellingham says the never-say-die spirit in the dressing-room is "infectious" because of their remarkable history of great fight-backs.

Madrid, the 15-time European champions, are still big underdogs after Arsenal's swashbuckling 3-0 win at the Emirates last week.

The Spanish giants were outplayed and Arsenal could have won more comfortably but Real never believe they are beaten when it comes to the Champions League.

"I did say that to someone the other day. It is a weird environment," said England star Bellingham.

"The last few days it is one of the worst results we could possibly imagine. For some reason everyone thinks it is nailed on we will come back.

"There is an expectation from around the world that when we get into these kind of holes that we can come back even if it is a really tough one. In England it is not as common but it has happened as well.
