Real Madrid Suffers Defeat in Arbeloa’s First Match

In his inaugural match as head coach, Álvaro Arbeloa witnessed Real Madrid succumb to a 3-2 defeat, with an equalizer from Gonzalo Garcia in stoppage time quickly overshadowed by Jefte Betancor’s second goal, which arrived in the 94th minute.

Carvajal’s Reaction

Dani Carvajal expressed his dismay following the match, stating, “Today we reached our lowest point. Being eliminated by a team from Segunda División is disappointing, and my congratulations go to them. Starting tomorrow, we need to engage in some self-assessment, both individually and as a group.”

Focus on Improvement

Carvajal emphasized the importance of turning the season around, remarking, “We still have time to improve. There are two major competitions ahead of us that we need to pursue vigorously. The team is not performing at its best at the moment, and it’s essential we step up our efforts.”

Commitment to Fans

He continued with a clear message: “Everyone must elevate their game; that is the reality we face. We need to give our utmost. I want to apologize to our supporters as we are currently not meeting the standards and expectations of this club. We promise to put forth our best effort in the upcoming matches to rectify the situation.”
