After their humiliating defeat in London, Real Madrid face a high risk of being eliminated from the Champions League. However, Carlo Ancelotti is not one to give up easily, and he may have prepared a bold plan to create a revolution at Santiago Bernabéu on the morning of April 17th.
To stage a comeback, Real Madrid will need to perform miracles, and the Italian coach himself believes that the Bernabeu will once again be the birthplace of such miracles.
A revolution without compromise.
With a 0-3 deficit from the first leg, Ancelotti understands that only a bold strategy can help Real Madrid turn the tide. According to AS , the former AC Milan manager may decide to revolutionize the squad. These changes would not simply be personnel adjustments, but also a clear message – if they fail, Real Madrid will fail with strength and determination.
This revolution began with Dani Ceballos potentially being given a starting opportunity – a risky choice. Although Ceballos had only recently returned from injury and played a few minutes against Alaves after more than 50 days out, Ancelotti believed the midfielder could be the decisive factor in helping the club regain its versatility.
Ceballos will act as a link in building attacking moves, while also helping to reorganize the defense, which is currently facing many problems. Ancelotti also reiterated that Ceballos's absence in recent matches is what prevented Real Madrid from keeping a clean sheet against this opponent, and that is why he is placing his trust in his pupil.

But Ceballos wasn't the only major change. Ancelotti is also believed to have decided to elevate Fede Valverde by moving him closer to the midfield, more directly involved in attacking plays. The Uruguayan star, with his powerful finishing ability, will become the main "gun" in Real Madrid's lineup, generating strength from the midfield and supporting the attacking players.
At right-back, Asencio could be trusted – instead of Lucas Vazquez. The Spanish talent would take on the role of protecting Arsenal's counter-attacks, especially in order to neutralize the threat of Martinelli – the opposition's most dangerous player.
Tchouameni and Rüdiger - the steel duo in defense.
With the goal of ensuring defensive solidity, Ancelotti may move Tchouameni down to play as a central defender. This is a bold decision, but a highly tactical one, as the French player would combine with Rüdiger to deal with Arsenal's aerial attacks and long balls.
On the left flank, despite Alaba's serious mistakes in the first leg, he remains the optimal choice to ensure stability in the defense, while also providing aerial ability and defending against high balls, which are Arsenal's strengths.
While the defense has been strengthened, Real Madrid's attack is unlikely to change. The trio of Rodrygo, Mbappe, and Vinicius will be the main attacking spearhead. These three players will be tasked with putting pressure on Arsenal's defense from the very first minutes.
Real Madrid will go all out at the Bernabeu. |
After the first leg in London, where all three players underperformed, they will enter the second leg with greater determination than ever before. In particular, Mbappe and Vinicius, with their fearsome dribbling skills and speed, will be dangerous weapons, ready to explode in this crucial match.
With these drastic changes, Ancelotti hopes Real Madrid will be able to turn the tide. What the team has achieved at the Bernabeu in the past shows they are always capable of creating miracles. As for Arsenal, despite having a three-goal advantage, they can never feel secure going into a match at Santiago Bernabeu – the venue where some of the greatest comebacks in football history have taken place.
Regardless of the final outcome, one thing is certain: Real Madrid will not easily give up their European dream. With drastic tactical changes and unwavering determination, Ancelotti is ready for a magical night at the Bernabéu.
Can Arsenal withstand the might of the royal club, or will Real Madrid once again leave the football world in awe with their home-field magic? The answer can only be determined when the match ends.
