'If any team can do it'

Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa backed his team to mount a comeback in Munich.

"I think it's a defeat that maybe, with a bit more luck in the second half, we could have avoided," the Spaniard said.

"We scored a goal that gave us hope — the pity is, we weren't able to put away any more of the chances we had.

"It's not going to be easy, but if any team can win in Munich, it's Real Madrid."

Jude Bellingham impressed as a second-half substitute for Madrid, as he continues to find his fitness after a hamstring injury, and Arbeloa highlighted the England international's contribution.

"We've talked a lot about how his return to the team should be about getting back to his best level, and I think doing it progressively is just logical to me," said the coach.

"It's true he gave us a huge amount, because we need a player like him, who can evade that very aggressive press Bayern put on, carry the ball, get past opponents.

"And I'm very happy with the energy he showed us, with what we always talk about — his character and personality.

"I see him looking much better, and I'm sure in Munich he's going to help us a lot.

"We are still alive, clearly," Arbeloa said.

"We are one goal away. We have shown that we can win anywhere . We showed it with the scoring chances that we had against an opponent that we knew was going to make it difficult for us."

Madrid and Bayern are playing their sixth knockout-stage meeting in 14 seasons, with the Spanish powerhouse having won four of their five two-leg matchups since the 2011-12 season.
