<p><strong>Carlo Ancelotti:<em> "We have to believe in a comeback."</em>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>Ancelotti reflected on the match, stating,<em> "We need to be honest in our criticism and evaluation of ourselves. We weren't bad for large stretches of the game. There were moments we played well in the first half, but our performance dropped in the second half."</em></p>
<p>Regarding the chances for a comeback in the second leg, he added,<em> "If you look at the game tonight, it seems unlikely, but in football, anything can happen. We have to believe and have trust because we've seen many comebacks at the Bernabeu."</em></p>
<p><strong>Jude Bellingham: <em>"We&rsquo;re lucky to get away with only three."&nbsp;</em></strong></p>
<p>Bellingham expressed disappointment, saying, <em>"We&rsquo;re fortunate to have only conceded three goals. We were nowhere near it, and that's the fact. Arsenal played well. Although two of their goals came from free kicks, they could have scored more. We are looking forward to the second leg, and that's what we're holding on to."</em></p>
<p><strong>The Next Match</strong></p>
<p>The second leg is scheduled for Wednesday, 16th April. Real Madrid fans are growing concerned, while Arsenal supporters are feeling confident.</p>
