Pressure mounts on Arbeloa as Madrid chases Champions League turnaround

Madrid, April 14 (UNI) Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa faces the most important game of his coaching career on Wednesday when his side travels to Bayern Munich for the second leg of its Champions League quarterfinal, needing to overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg.
Kylian Mbappe's goal at the Santiago Bernabeu last Tuesday gave Madrid hope after Luis Diaz and Harry Kane had put Bayern 2-0 ahead, but history offers little encouragement. Madrid has lost the first leg of a European knockout tie at home seven times and has overturned the deficit away only once, in the 1970 European Cup Winners' Cup.
Bayern, meanwhile, has a strong record of protecting an advantage, progressing on 30 of the 31 occasions it has won the first leg away, with the only exception coming against Inter Milan in 2011.
