Former Bayern Munich player Mario Gomez has cautioned Arsenal about the intensity they could face at the Santiago Bernabeu when Real Madrid find themselves in a challenging situation like the one they’re in now.

Real Madrid are trailing 3-0 going into the second leg of their quarter-final clash at home on Wednesday night.

Gomez reminisced about a memorable match between Bayern Munich and a Real Madrid team featuring Cristiano Ronaldo during the 2011/12 Champions League semi-finals.

The first leg ended 2-1 in Bayern’s favour at Allianz Arena, but the return leg at the Santiago Bernabeu saw the same scoreline, this time with Real Madrid emerging victorious.

Speaking ahead of Real Madrid’s second leg against Arsenal in an interview with Relevo, Gomez described how Real Madrid approached the game with full force.

Within 15 minutes, Los Blancos were already 2-0 up, thanks to a brace from Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, Bayern managed to level the aggregate score in the 27th minute when Arjen Robben converted a penalty with precision.

“In the 2nd leg against Madrid, they were like a train passing us. ‘Holy sh*t, what’s going on here?’ It was so intense, I’ve never felt anything like that again.

“Alonso passing the ball to Di María or Cristiano, you couldn’t defend against them, they were scoring goals. Our luck was that after the 2-0, they dropped a bit, relaxed, and we got back into the game. They gave us a penalty. Pepe fouled me, and Robben scored to make it 2-1,” Gomez said.

The game ended in a penalty shoot-out with Bayern Munich progressing to the final, winning 3-1 on penalties.
