  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  After the shocking result in North London, England and Los Blancos star Jude Bellingham reacted to his team's humbling as he admitted that the Spanish giants were completely outplayed by Mikel Arteta's team. He also claimed that the result could have been even worse.

• WHAT JUDE BELLINGHAM SAID

  Speaking to reporters, Bellingham said: "We’re lucky to get away with only three. We were nowhere near it. That's the fact and Arsenal were really good. I know two of their goals were free-kicks but they could have had way more. There is a second leg and that's what we're holding on to."
