Real Madrid turn to ChatGPT for inspiration ahead of do-or-die Arsenal Champions League clash as fans laugh at 'cringe' social post & claim they're clearly 'rattled'

<p>Real Madrid turned to ChatGPT for inspiration as they looked to send a message to Arsenal ahead of their do-or-die Champions League quarter-final second leg on Wednesday. Madrid trail 3-0 from the first leg in north London and, as Los Blancos seek to overturn that deficit, they posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) in which ChatGPT was asked to translate ‘Noventa minuti en el Bernabeu son molto longo’ (Ninety minutes at the Bernabeu are very long) into a host of different languages.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="und" dir="ltr">9️⃣0️⃣⏱️. <a href="https://t.co/HLqW99MFTY">pic.twitter.com/HLqW99MFTY</a></p>— Real Madrid C.F. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@realmadriden) <a href="https://twitter.com/realmadriden/status/1912415668135449032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 16, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Fans were quick to ridicule Madrid for the post.</p><p>Arsenal fan ‘Rory Talks Ball’ responded: “It’s actually cringe at this point.”</p><p>Madrid fan ‘Drilleh’ agreed: “This is becoming cringe… if we don’t win.”</p><p>‘The Nomad Post’ added: “I can’t believe we got the mighty Real Madrid this rattled.”</p><p>‘The Footy Guru’ pointed to a recent defeat for Madrid, writing: “Wasn't very long for 13th-placed Valencia.”</p><p>Benjamin Fernandes expressed excitement at the prospect of returning to Madrid’s post after the full-time whistle, writing: “Bro, I can’t wait to come back to this tweet once you take your L tonight.”</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Wasn't very long for 13th placed Valencia.<br><br>Cringy club <a href="https://t.co/JqPbJGUNo8">pic.twitter.com/JqPbJGUNo8</a></p>— The Footy Guru (@TheFootbalGuru) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheFootbalGuru/status/1912432090760495291?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 16, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>Madrid have developed a fearsome reputation for claiming unlikely victories in the Champions League and producing stirring fightbacks at the Bernabeu, with their post clearly a reference to some of the turnarounds they have delivered in years past. Still, history is against them. Forty-seven teams have lost the first leg of a Champions League tie by at least three goals. Only four — Deportivo La Coruna v AC Milan in 2004, Barcelona v Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, Roma v Barcelona in 2018 and Liverpool v Barcelona in 2019 — have gone on to progress.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>While the prospect of Declan Rice netting two long-range free-kicks in the same game again is an unlikely one, Madrid must balance the aggression they will need to pull off a fightback with defensive solidity. Carlo Ancelotti’s men have been far too vulnerable at the back of late, with their clean sheet against Alaves last weekend ending a run of nine games without one. If they don’t improve at the back, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-date-destiny-knocking-real-madrid-out-champions-league-change-gunners-european-reality/bltee40cd539d4654e1" target="_self">90 minutes at the Bernabeu for Arsenal will be joyous</a>. Defeat will  surely prompt further questions about Ancelotti's future.</p>
