A sad image of Arbeloa after the defeat. |
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano drew attention by posting a picture of Arbeloa quietly on the bus in Munich, along with the statement: "That was his moment as Real Madrid coach in European competition." According to the Italian journalist, the club's management will soon make a decision about the Spanish strategist's future.
The Athletic also confirmed that Arbeloa is highly likely to be sacked, although he may be retained to manage the team until the end of the season. The former defender was only appointed in January to replace Xabi Alonso with the expectation of improving the team's performance.
Despite facing immense pressure, Arbeloa maintained a calm demeanor. He affirmed that he would respect any decision from the club and would not prioritize his personal future, instead expressing regret for the team after the defeat.
In the Champions League quarter-finals, Real Madrid lost to Bayern Munich with an aggregate score of 4-6, thus missing the opportunity to win their 16th title in history. This defeat also sparked controversy, particularly regarding the red card shown to Eduardo Camavinga.
Not only did Real Madrid struggle in European competitions, but they were also eliminated from the Copa del Rey by second-division side Albacete in Arbeloa's first match. In La Liga, they are in second place, 9 points behind Barcelona with only 7 rounds remaining.
The scenario of ending the season empty-handed is clearly a possibility for the Bernabeu side. If that happens, it will be the second consecutive season that Real Madrid has failed to win a major title, something that hasn't happened in the past 16 years.
