One thing is clear: Real Madrid will go into the second leg against Bayern Munich trailing. Bayern won at the Bernab\u00e9u for the first time in 25 years, securing a 2-1 victory. \u201cEvery defeat in the Champions League feels like a disaster,\u201d Bellingham said, \u201cbut now it\u2019s about putting everything into this match. We have to be there, we have to show what we\u2019re made of. We can\u2019t hide.\u201d<\/p>\n
Having only recently returned from a muscle injury and still short of full fitness, the 22-year-old carries few positive memories of the Allianz Arena. The 22-year-old has not won any of his five away matches with BVB or Real, and in every Dortmund defeat he suffered, they shipped at least three goals. \u201cEvery time I\u2019ve been here with Dortmund, it\u2019s been a bad experience,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
Recent results have done little to ease that task, as Bellingham acknowledged. \u201cThe intensity with which they play is incredible,\u201d he said, praising Munich\u2019s high-pressing style under Vincent Kompany while singling out Harry Kane for praise.<\/p>\n
\u201cHarry is an incredible player; it\u2019s incredible to see the fantastic form he\u2019s reached,\u201d he gushed about his national team captain, expressing sympathy for his \u201cbrothers in Dortmund\u201d, who will once again have to bow to Kane and Bayern in the title race this year.
\nNow it is up to him to achieve what his former club failed to do. \u201cWe want to stop Bayern and Harry!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One thing is clear: Real Madrid will go into the second leg against Bayern Munich trailing.
