Their chances of winning silverware this season were already slim, but a late moment of indiscipline from Eduardo Camavinga in Munich, followed by two even later Bayern goals, leave Los Blancos needing a miracle. Unless they can overhaul Barcelona's nine-point lead at the top of La Liga with seven matches remaining, Real will end a season trophyless for just the fifth time this century. Alvaro Arbeloa's side came so close to reaching the semi-finals, but history does not look kindly on Real Madrid managers who fail to win major trophies.

Bellingham's 'disaster' coming true Having won the Champions League (15) and La Liga (36) more than any other team in history, Real Madrid are not used to failure. Los Blancos have only gone without a major trophy in four seasons this century - 2004-05, 2005-06, 2009-10, and 2020-21. In campaigns when they didn't win the league, Champions League or a domestic cup - like in 2024-25 - they at least still won either or both the Uefa Super Cup or Fifa Club World Cup.

And this season has certainly been an inconsistent one. Real started the campaign with Xabi Alonso as manager. And while a 2-1 defeat of Barcelona gave them a five-point lead at the top of the league table after just 10 games, a run of four matches without a win soon followed.

Alonso then resigned as manager after losing to Barca in the Spanish Super Cup in January, before the tenure of his replacement, former team-mate Arbeloa, began with a Copa del Rey defeat to second-division Albacete.

"Any loss in the Champions League feels like a disaster and like I said, given the situation we're in, we understand tomorrow is a final," said Bellingham.

"Given the situation we're in, we want to be still playing for something, rather than having games pass us by. "It feels as if everything's riding on this game. We have to see it like that.

It's an all or nothing game. " 'I care about this club more than myself' For years it felt like Real Madrid were inevitable in the Champions League. First under Zinedine Zidane, then Carlo Ancelotti, individual brilliance and an innate belief that they would prevail, no matter the odds, saw them overcome often more cohesive opposition.
