After a crushing 3-0 loss to Arsenal at the Emirates on Tuesday night, many fans assumed Real Madrid’s Champions League dream might be over — but not Kylian Mbappé.
The French star, who had a quiet night in North London, is refusing to give up hope. With a fire in his eyes and belief in his voice, Mbappé is rallying the Madrid camp to stay focused ahead of next week’s do-or-die second leg at the Santiago Bernabéu.
“The comeback is possible, of course. We have to believe until the end,” Mbappé told reporters, as shared by football insider Fabrizio Romano.
Arsenal were clinical on their home turf, with Declan Rice bagging a brace and Mikel adding a third to pile pressure on Carlo Ancelotti’s side. But with 90 minutes still to play — and a roaring Bernabéu crowd waiting — Real Madrid isn’t ready to bow out just yet.
Before that high-stakes clash, Madrid will face Alaves in La Liga on Sunday — a chance to regroup, rebuild confidence, and remind everyone that the kings of comebacks aren’t done fighting.
