The cold statistic says that only 7% of the occasions in which the local team loses in the first leg manages to overcome in the return match in European competitions. An added challenge for Madrid, which must be traced on March 17 in Etihad on 1-2 suffered Wednesday against City. There is a happy precedent. Only one to look at. It was in 1970, in the knockout round of the extinct Recopa (it was played by the Cup champions of each country).The whites, trained by Miguel Muñoz, lost in the first leg at the Bernabéu against Wacker Innsbruck 0-1, in a bad game and with little atmosphere. On the return, played on November 4, 1970, the Real Madrid players gave a joy to the Spanish emigrants who were seen in the stands of the Tivoli Stadion thanks to the goals of Grande and the Cadiz Manolín Bueno.That Madrid would end up playing the final of the Recopa against Chelsea in Athens, which he lost after a playoff game.Real Madrid 0 – Wacker 1, 10-21-1970, European Cup Winners Cup, round of 16 (first leg)REAL MADRID, 0: Miguel Angel; José Luis, De Felipe, Benito, Sanchis; Pirri, Grande, Velázquez; Amancio, Marañón and Manolin Good.
