Camavinga, Ceballos Rally Madrid Ahead of Crucial Arsenal Clash: “We Need a Very Serious Performance”

As the clock ticks towards the highly anticipated UEFA Champions League quarter-final second-leg between Real Madrid and Arsenal, Los Blancos midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has issued a passionate call to arms, urging the team and fans alike to rise to the occasion.

Speaking after Madrid’s gritty 1-0 La Liga win over Alavés on Sunday, the French midfielder stressed the need for intensity and unity ahead of Wednesday’s do-or-die clash at the Santiago Bernabéu, where they must overturn a 3–0 first-leg deficit.

“We have to give a very serious performance. We have to attack, press and we need the Madrid fans,” Camavinga said.
“I’m looking forward to Wednesday – we need all your support. It will be a great game and we need all the Real Madrid fans around the world.”

Unfortunately, Camavinga will be watching from the sidelines after picking up a second yellow card in the first leg. But even in absence, his voice carries the fire Madrid are known for on European nights.

💬 Ceballos: “We All Must Believe”

Echoing Camavinga’s sentiments, Dani Ceballos emphasized belief, unity, and maximum effort:

“We need players who give two hundred per cent and a devoted fan base, who believe like we believe. We are all stronger together.
On Wednesday, we will have an incredible atmosphere at the Bernabéu to turn around a very complicated result.”

💭 Opinion: This Is Not Just Another Game — It’s a Bernabéu Night

If there’s one thing Real Madrid has mastered, it’s the art of the miraculous comeback. From La Remontada against PSG to the wild finish against Manchester City in 2022, the Bernabéu transforms into a cathedral of belief on nights like these.

Camavinga’s call for a “very serious performance” isn’t just about tactics—it’s about mentality. Madrid can’t afford another slow start. They must press from the first whistle, suffocate Arsenal’s rhythm, and turn half-chances into history.

🧠 Arsenal Beware: Madrid Have Nothing to Lose

With the pressure now squarely on Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal to protect their lead, Real Madrid has the advantage of freedom. They’ve already lost the first leg. Now, they can chase the game with fearless resolve—something that often unnerves even the most composed opponents.

With Camavinga urging unity, Ceballos pledging effort, and Vinícius Jr. leading the charge, Madrid fans know this script well. The Bernabéu has seen many impossible nights—Wednesday could be another page in their legendary book.

📅 April 17 — mark it down. A showdown is coming. And Madrid are sharpening their swords.
