Pressure at Real Madrid has hit a new high: reports say the board won’t hesitate to part ways with head coach Álvaro Arbeloa soon if he doesn’t fit the project. Even after the painful cup defeat, the mood inside the club is said to be, “one more game, then we decide.”
Arbeloa’s debut was extremely tough: Real Madrid suffered a shock 2–3 loss to Albacete in the Copa del Rey round of 16 and exited the competition early. It was Arbeloa’s first serious test, but the outcome hit both the fans and the club’s leadership hard.
To recall, Arbeloa had previously replaced his compatriot Xabi Alonso. Now the “Royal Club” faces another test — a La Liga clash against Levante.
According to reports, Real Madrid vs Levante will take place on January 17 at the Santiago Bernabéu. This match could become the decisive moment for Arbeloa: if neither the result nor the performance convinces, talk that the club “won’t wait long” may prove true.
In short, the situation is simple for Arbeloa: there’s no “time to adapt” mode here. At Real Madrid, time moves fast — especially after defeats. Now fans are waiting: will the team respond against Levante, or will the problems become even more obvious?
