During his commentary on Amazon Prime , Fabregas analyzed: “I would have liked to say the game was already decided. After the first goal, I said Arsenal needed a second. And after the second, I thought they needed another one. However, Real Madrid is still Real Madrid.”

The former Spanish star believes that a comeback for Real Madrid in the second leg is still possible. Historically, "Los Blancos" have come back from a 0-3 first-leg deficit three times, most recently against Mönchengladbach in 1986.

Fabregas also praised Bukayo Saka, one of Arsenal's standout players in the recent match. Fabregas said: “I know all the attention will be on Declan Rice, and that’s completely deserved. But I want to give a special compliment to Saka. What he did against Real Madrid was truly admirable!”

Saka delivered an impressive performance in the recent match, not only contributing to the victory but also demonstrating remarkable maturity in his playing style. The combination of Saka and Rice creates a formidable attacking force for Arsenal, causing many difficulties for Real Madrid.

Fabregas is currently the head coach of Como in Serie A. During his playing career, the former midfielder spent nearly nine seasons at Arsenal, making 303 appearances. While playing for Barcelona, ​​Fabregas also faced Real Madrid on several occasions.

Arsenal's goal sealed Real's defeat. In the 75th minute, Mikel Merino beat Courtois with a skillful finish from just outside the 16.5-meter line, securing a 3-0 victory for Arsenal over Real.
