Statistic Shows Real Madrid’s Comeback Seems Impossible
It has been 78 matches since Arsenal last conceded more than two goals in a game.
According to reports, Real Madrid and Arsenal will face off tomorrow night at the Santiago Bernabeu in the most crucial match of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg. Real Madrid fans hope for a comeback after their heavy 3-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium under Carlo Ancelotti.
Real Madrid has made numerous comebacks in recent years, but this time, given their recent struggles and the high motivation of Mikel Arteta’s squad, Los Blancos will face an extremely tough challenge to stage another historic comeback at home.
The situation looks even more discouraging for Real Madrid as Arsenal has maintained an incredible defensive record over the past two years, conceding no more than two goals in their last 78 matches across all competitions.
In fact, Arsenal last conceded more than two goals in a Premier League match against Luton Town in December 2023. Since then, Arteta’s men have not let it happen again in 78 consecutive games.
That match, incidentally, saw Arsenal secure a dramatic 4-3 victory with a last-minute goal by Declan Rice. Now, the Gunners will hope for another strong defensive performance against Real Madrid’s formidable attack tomorrow night.
