WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Los Blancos star Bellingham has revealed he was surprised to see his Three Lions colleague converting back-to-back set pieces. The defending champions, however, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/carlo-ancelotti-real-madrid-play-with-heart-balls-overturn-three-goal-deficit-arsenal-champions-league-showdown/bltb0ed695d16666497#cs779830b1842079bd" target="_blank">are not ready to give up without a fight</a>, as they aim to stage an epic comeback at Santiago Bernabeu.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>At a pre-match press conference, Bellingham was asked if Arsenal 'surprised' Madrid in the first leg, to which he replied: "Not really, no. We know the quality they have. I think the free-kicks were surprising! I've not seen Dec do that before, to be fair. I knew he could take set pieces really well, the corners and stuff, but I've never seen him do that with free-kicks. Fair play to him, that was probably the only thing though really, we knew they're a really good team."</p>

WHAT JUDE BELLINGHAM SAID

<p>Bellingham added that Madrid are obsessed with mounting a fightback to overturn the 3-0 deficit: "The most word used in the dressing room in the last days is 'remontada' (comeback)."</p>
