Hi all, I was on lichess and got this puzzle https://lichess.org/training/mHLi8 (sorry I can't paste it in chess.com). I got it wrong and even after seeing the solution I'm kinda confused...

Anyone willing to help? Thanks.

Yes i noticed, but i like to leave things undisclosed hoping that the OP would put in the effort to see them.  But since you gave away the answer it doesn't matter now.

If Qb4, Rxc3+ protecting the bishop, then Rd3+ getting the rook out of danger, then Rd4 protecting the bishop again and black keeps their advantage.
