Álvaro Arbeloa Is Already Collecting Failures at Real Madrid
The situation at Real Madrid is not solely Álvaro Arbeloa's responsibility, as it is partly an inheritance from Xabi Alonso's unexpected departure, which left the club in a difficult position.
Arbeloa has been linked to two major failures this season: a shocking 3–2 Copa del Rey defeat to second-division Albacete, which he took responsibility for, and a humiliating 4–2 Champions League loss to Benfica, where goalkeeper Anatoli Trubin scored a late goal.
In LaLiga, Real Madrid remains competitive, trailing Barcelona by just one point. However, the team must now navigate a Champions League playoff round, with a potential rematch against Benfica or a tie against Bodø/Glimt, to be decided on January 30.
The future under Arbeloa is uncertain, and time will reveal whether his appointment was the right decision or a rushed response to Alonso's exit.
