The coach of Real Madrid, Álvaro Arbeloa, is currently under pressure as the team has begun to lose the momentum it had after he took over from Xabi Alonso.
In fact, reports say that the Real Madrid president, Florentino Pérez, has already started searching for a possible replacement for Arbeloa.
Arbeloa faced heavy criticism after Madrid’s 0–1 defeat to Getafe CF, a result that allowed FC Barcelona to move four points ahead of them on the La Liga table.
Beyond the defeat, the match exposed weaknesses in Real Madrid’s team cohesion, discipline, and overall confidence in their play.
During the match, which Madrid played at home, their defender Franco Mastantuono received a straight red card in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
At the moment, the major concern among Madrid fans is whether Arbeloa can guide the team to success in the UEFA Champions League, which resumes next week, especially now that the competition has reached the Round of 16.
