Bellingham Praises Real Madrid’s Resilience After Dramatic Win Over Atletico

Posted : 13 March 2025

Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham hailed his team’s mentality after they edged past Atletico Madrid on penalties to secure a spot in the Champions League quarterfinals. Despite struggling in a 1-0 extra-time loss that left the tie level at 2-2 on aggregate, Carlo Ancelotti’s squad showcased their resilience to advance.

 

Bellingham, who successfully converted a penalty in the shootout, emphasized the team’s composure in crucial moments, highlighting their ability to navigate high-pressure situations. The victory keeps Real Madrid on course for a record-extending 16th Champions League title, setting up a quarterfinal clash against Arsenal.

 

Real Madrid had previously dismantled Manchester City in the knockout stage with a dominant 6-3 aggregate win, but the encounter with Atletico was far more challenging. Their city rivals struck early, with Conor Gallagher scoring inside the first minute to level the aggregate score.

 

However, despite Atletico’s aggressive start, Real Madrid remained composed and weathered the storm through normal and extra time. The match ultimately came down to a dramatic penalty shootout, where a crucial moment saw Julian Alvarez’s successful penalty disallowed due to an accidental double touch.

 

Although Jan Oblak managed to save Lucas Vazquez’s penalty, Atletico’s Marcos Llorente missed his attempt, giving Real the upper hand. Antonio Rüdiger then stepped up to convert the decisive penalty, sealing victory for Ancelotti’s side.

 

The win sparked celebrations among the Real Madrid players and fans, with Bellingham expressing his delight over the hard-fought victory. He acknowledged the significance of the triumph, particularly given the rivalry, and emphasized the importance of advancing at this stage of the competition.
